• Merge with the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) article as a subsection under Research Programmes and Centres of Competence in Research. It obviously needs sources, but the fact that they aren't actually cited is different than if they didn't exist at all. It looks like there might be enough coverage for 1 sentence to 1 paragraph about particularly noteworthy NCCRs if it's nested under a more notable main topic (e.g. SNSF), but it doesn't seem like the individual NCCRs are notable enough to each have their own articles though, at least not the Trade Regulation one.

• Rathfelder, considering the only edits made to the article since it was created in 2006 are from bots (and maybe a few random category additions from editors who didn't show any other interest in the article), I think you should be WP:BOLD. :-P IMHO, improving the sources/content doesn't have to happen at before its moved. Maybe that would spark some interest in it if there are editors following any of the other related articles. PermStrump(talk) 01:57, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to the article above, as this can be mentioned there since there's nothing suggesting a better separately notable article here. SwisterTwister talk 01:59, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
