It’s not possible to find them with a query (timeout), but it’s easy to count items with one particular description.

For example, “scientific article” (English) has almost a million items: https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20%28COUNT%28%2a%29%20AS%20%3Fcount%29%20WHERE%20%7B%20%5B%5D%20schema%3Adescription%20%22scientific%20article%22%40en.%20%7D

Any suggestions for a description with even more items? (Doesn’t have to be in English!)

Nikki compiled this list from a recent dump: https://pastebin.com/raw/0mBBSwDE – looks like nothing beats “Wikimedia category”.

And here’s my own version, mostly identical to Nikki’s (slight differences might be due to different dumps?): https://gist.github.com/lucaswerkmeister/a5b02cda1ce9ea14874dd2828ce57e79
