Non-notable group. No improvement to article since last, no consensus, AfD nomination. Cordless Larry (talk) 23:27, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Amazing that this survived as a no consensus back in January, but part of that seems to have been based on the premise that someone was going to add to it. Basically, it's a factoid-- there are 800 persons of Jamaican origin or descent among the 8 million people or so in Switzerland; and there's a link to an article that didn't really have anything to say about a Jamaican community, other than that there was going to be a Bob Marley celebration in 2005; and there's a "when you have nothing to say..." intro that says: "Jamaicans in Switzerland is a Swiss-born person of Jamaican descent, or a Jamaican-born person with Swiss citizenship."  This looks like a variation of the Groubani "Random nation x - Random nation y relations" articles, like Japanese Costa Rican and Palestinian Peruvian, that has nothing to report.  I'm not in favor of keeping for the sake of keeping, and this could probably be mentioned in Jamaican diaspora.  Mandsford (talk) 15:26, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not appear to be able to satisfy notability criterion.  Narthring (talk  • contribs) 04:19, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - 1.) Numbers-wise this would not be significant, as 800 people in this world of billions is unremarkable. 2.) This is not an ethnic group (just a nationality choosing another place of residence) which seemed to be--for whatever reason--the main argument in favor last time.  3.) The article doesn't assert its notability other than to say, essentially, "Jamaicans live in Switzerland" which isn't significant. 4.) 3 Google news hits isn't enough to satisfy "widespread coverage" to meet notability.

 * Delete - Non notable permutation of countries/peoples. More simply put, not any RS sources talking about the group to indicate notability. Shadowjams (talk) 23:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
