List of cantons of Switzerland by area

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article adds nothing at all to Wikipedia. The article Cantons of Switzerland already contains all the information in this stub, and the table found in that article contains a sortable column with the area of each canton. No point in merging, as there's nothing in this article that isn't already covered in Cantons of Swizterland, so I move it be deleted Jeppiz (talk) 18:00, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete based on it being a good article that has served its original purpose, and has been superseded by a better one. Before the sortable table became part of Wikipedia, there was a perceived need for having different articles for things such as population, area, year of founding, etc.  The other list was made in 2003, this one in 2005.  I agree that there's nothing here that isn't on the sortable table, and while it was an important article at one time, there is no longer any reason to retain any article called "List of _____ by area".
