Small group of people with no assertion of notability. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:10, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Delete Unnotable intersection of ethic groups that number about 800 people. Tavix (talk) 23:15, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep Let some other editors post ethnographic and population data about Jamaican immigrants there and their cultural influence before you write them off as not notable. The overall population of Switzerland itself is small so, "small" is all relative here.Critical Chris (talk) 23:43, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Reply "Small" is relative as a population group compared to the current human population. Remember that the ethnic groups don't just apply to Switzerland but to the whole world. That would mean this "group" is only about 800/7,000,000,000 of the human population. That is definitely a small number indeed Tavix (talk) 00:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Trivial and not notable. BaldPark (talk) 23:47, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Even in comparison to the Swiss population it would be a small group. The main issue here is that it is a bunch of statistics which cannot be expanded upon. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:58, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - ethnic groups are inherently notable. Sufficient sources exist to establish notability anyways. WilyD 12:56, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Really? Can you prove this or do you just think that there are sources? Tavix (talk) 23:48, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• This isn't an ethnic group, it's an intersection of a nationality and a country of residence. There is nothing to establish the notability of this intersection in the article. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep-- This group has an active association in Switzerland, 1. I agree with WillyD, all immigrants are inherently notable. --J.Mundo (talk) 14:40, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. 800 / 7,593,500 = 0.0001053. As subtrivial a topic as it gets. KleenupKrew (talk) 05:12, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This could be covered by a sentence in the Jamaica article noting that a community of 800 Jamaicans now live in Switzerland. Racepacket (talk) 09:09, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
