Interesting collection, on good sources, offline and subscription sources (please mark as such) accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - I suggest to call it Düben Collection, as major sources do. In case of a move, please don't move this template. - How do you feel about an infobox, to avoid making it look like an article about Membra Jesu Nostri? In the article, "as a whole" comes in two sentences in a row. I changed a source year in the calls, please check. The Swedish has a list of works, which might be a good idea for at least those with articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:32, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: "collection" would not be capitalised in normal WP:SENTENCECASE situation (nor is it, Webber, who is not using it in the function of a title, consistently does not capitalise it). I was considering putting a list of composers represented, but with over 300 of them (the Swedish article is only a partial list), I thought that that's obviously too much for an encyclopedic article; and it also is redundant with the link to the online catalogue; so I've settled with only listing the most prominent as identified in sources.

- I saw this, which looks more scientific and recent to may, but as you like. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:35, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
