The article Schleuniger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as Unreferenced for more than 12 years, and Notability concerns for the same period. Tagged for COI for 6 years.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

@Bearian Thanks for PRODing that. This company doesn't seem to be notable, at least not separately from its parent Komax. The article is quite a mess, too. If the PROD does get contested and sent to AfD, please let me know. Toadspike [Talk] 19:41, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

The article FC Herzogenbuchsee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as Unreferenced for almost 8 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. Minor league football team.

BM is an acclaimed Swiss director and producer, who is known in many countries for her feminist documentaries like #Female Power or Forbidden Voices. Her last movie she codirected with Philip Dealquis, who is in the English wiki, but not Barbara Miller. I translated the article and found lots of links to English sources: [Barbara Miller]. I hope it will not take the two months for the reviewing process (The articlce is done by the book, I guess) and someone with the rights to do so, could have a look at it. Thank you!Haemmerli (talk) 12:28, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

The Historical Dictionary of Switzerland () is a source I've come across and used extensively for Switzerland related articles, especially biographies such as in Franz Vital Lusser or Friedrich Freiherr von Hotze. With its scientific approach and ethical guidlines (links in German) its reliability seems rather solid to me. The project is led by the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences and backed by the government, and appears both in print and online in the 3 most spoken national languages of Switzerland, German, French, and Italian. I'm starting this discussion because this widely-used source hasn't been discussed yet and a consensus on its reliability would allow it to be added to NPPSG, which would simplify the work of NPP reviewers. What is your evaluation of this source in the context of Switzerland-related articles? YuniToumei (talk) 06:39, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

It's as reliable as anything is. PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:49, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

A very serious and fundamentally reliable institute. A scientifically and widely recognised source in Switzerland. ZH8000 (talk) 16:01, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi all! I've created a new resources subpage, inspired by WP:VG/S. The talk page serves as a forum for discussion of reliability of sources. So far the table is quite short, but I have started discussions to add a bunch of sources. Please, watch this new page if you can, and comment on the discussions! Thank you :) YuniToumei (talk) 09:52, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

Credit Suisse has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 02:37, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi folks. The article for Josef Hoop is currently a Featured Article candidate: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Josef Hoop/archive2. It needs a few more reviewers, though. If anyone here would like to take a look, that'd be much appreciated. Toadspike [Talk] 11:40, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Has a source now :) Toadspike [Talk] 12:53, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello,

I am writing to inform you that we have imported nearly 1,000 photos of theatrical performances taken by Fred Erismann between 1933 and 1968 as part of his work as a photographer for the Stadttheater in Bern into Wikimedia Commons. The rights of reuse were released by his daughter when she donated her father's archives to the SAPA Foundation (Swiss Performing Arts Archives). On behalf of this foundation, we imported the photos with certain structured metadata into Commons, then added links to the images in the corresponding production entries in Wikidata (project page on Wikidata).

The photos are recordings of performances or rehearsals. The plays performed can be identified using the metadata imported into Commons. The name of the play can be found under “Title” and by following the link under “Source” you can also find the photograph's entry directly in the performing-arts.ch database managed by the SAPA Foundation. In this entry, the description of the production itself can be found under “Subject”.

You can find these photos in the Commons category Fonds Erismann (SAPA-A-1553). You can also filter photos using these different queries:

• List of images grouped by representation: https://w.wiki/HsDB
• List of images grouped by work: https://w.wiki/HsDD
• List of photos whose main subject has an article on English Wikipedia: https://w.wiki/Hsym

Unfortunately, we do not have any information about the people depicted in the photos. However, we hope that some of you will be able to identify them.

I think some of these images could be useful to illustrate Wikipedia articles: please feel free to use them as you see fit (examples of reuse: the opera Penthesilea, the theater play Woyzeck on French Wikipedia).

If you have any questions about the images, or specific requests regarding inquiries or information to be forwarded to the SAPA Foundation, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you in advance. VIGNERON en résidence (talk) 14:50, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

This is really cool, thank you!! Toadspike [Talk] 12:53, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello! The upcoming March 2026 Unreferenced articles backlog drive is now open for signups. As of now, only 149 articles in WikiProject Switzerland are tagged unreferenced. It would be great to see this backlog cleared by the end of the drive. Join now and earn yourself a barnstar! YuniToumei (talk) 10:59, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, YuniToumei! The Bambot listing is slightly longer with seven extra pages and loads more quickly. Toadspike [Talk] 08:15, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
