This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Comment: I think this is probably not enough for a stand-alone article but I'd highly encourage you to merge this into the existing Montreal_Botanical_Garden article. qcne (talk) 19:03, 11 March 2025 (UTC)The collection is not part of the botanical Garden, it is just situated on the same grounds. It is not open to the general public. The collection is part of the IRBV: Institut de recherche en biologie végétale

The Ouellet-Robert Collection, abbreviated as QMOR, is the entomological collection of the University of Montreal. It is one of the most important in Canada and the second largest in Quebec, with 1.5 million specimens as of 2019.^[1] It is housed at the Institute for Research in Plant Biology (IRBV) at the Biodiversity Center, located on the grounds of the Montreal Botanical Garden.
