Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Switzerland

WP:DSCH

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Switzerland. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Switzerland|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Switzerland. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

no evidence of WP:GNG level coverage, out of date and without prose Microwave Anarchist (talk) 22:12, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Football and Switzerland. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 22:12, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This nomination is entirely incorrect. The club secured loan deals for players from notable teams like Basel and Luzern, and even sold a player at a high price to the Belgian league champion. How can the article be considered unwanted when it clearly meets the required criteria? If it simply needs updating, then it should be updated, not removed altogether. Hauskasic (talk) 22:50, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Hauskasic: - none of that demonstrates in depth coverage from reliable secondary sources, and having players on loan from high profile clubs certainly isnt any basis for having a season article - we dont have an article for the 2013–14 Kingstonian F.C. season because Daniel Pappoe was on loan from Chelsea.

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 11:29, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: Sure, being trained by a former international who played in both the Euro and the World Cup is apparently not notable enough. [1] An article published by Blick, Switzerland's largest daily newspaper. Hauskasic (talk) 11:46, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ritter (titular name)

Fails WP:SALAT for being too broad. ~~We don't have lists of people simply because they have a relatively lowly aristocratic title.~~ Clarityfiend (talk) 02:20, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Lists of people, Royalty and nobility, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:37, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update. Well, upon further looking, lists do go down as far as knights. However, the inclusion criterion is very odd: "only those whose main Wikipedia article includes the titular 'Ritter' in the article name", so I'm thinking it fails due to WP:NLIST. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:44, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There is an important difference between a ritter and a knight. Ritter-hood is inherited, so it says nothing about the achievements of the individual who has the name (beyond that they managed to get born). Knighthoods are conferred on an individual for doing something (even if it's only being a successful civil servant who achieved retirement-age) so it carries a bit of personal weight. A list of knights is therefore more meaningful than a list of ritters. Elemimele (talk) 10:12, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ritter-hood is inherited, so it says nothing about the achievements of the individual who has the name (beyond that they managed to get born) is now my favorite quote from AfD. Toadspike [Talk] 11:16, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because it's a sort of synthesis, and not really a viable navigational list. These people are mostly notable for something entirely unrelated to the Ritter in their name. Even if they all take their nobility seriously, the list would be analogous to making an article Notable British people who happen to come from a family where someone got knighted. If our readers were likely (which I don't believe) to be looking for the intersection ("Notable" AND "Ritter-in-name") then it would be a reasonable navigational list. Otherwise, unless people have written about the intersection, it's a synthesis. Elemimele (talk) 10:09, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for having really weird inclusion criteria. It seems like more could be written about the "Ritter von ..." name format, but it's probably most suitable for the main Ritter article. Toadspike [Talk] 11:17, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced stub (well, just a general ref, no footnotes). Uncler how this meets WP:GNG/WP:SIGCOV. My BEFORE shows some mentions in passing here or there, but noting in-depth. _{Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here} 13:10, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if it was such a common acronym, it gets zero google news hits. Fails GNG by a long mile. LibStar (talk) 23:21, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Biological Weapons Convention, which seems to be the only area where this grouping has any relevance. There is sigcov in reliable sources [2][3][4], but since this grouping is apparently only relevant at the conferences on this particular convention I don't see the need for a standalone article. @LibStar and @Piotrus at Hanyang, would you be okay with a merge?
