Henri Nestle was NOT Swiss. He was born in Frankfurt, Germany.
I do not think residents should be included here. They certainly aren't on most similar pages.
By that logic, Albert Einstein (considered by most to have been a Swiss) could be considered American.
I agree. It does not appear to be common practice to include those who's relationship with the nation in question is confined to residency alone. Unless that person was born there or lived the majority of their life there and became a naturalized citizen, whereby most official sources will agree that the person in question does belong, I vote that those applicable be exempted from this list or furthur justification be provided until then. In case of the latter, I expect that person will be updating all the nationality lists.

I'm new to editing. Would it be appropriate to put famous residents in a separate section titled something like Notable Swiss Residents, either at the bottom of this page or on a new page of its own?

Niki de Saint Phalle has little to do with Switzerland and do not belong to this list. Born in France, raised in USA (father french, mother american), she spent most of her time in France,Italy and the USA as far as I understand. She did spend time in Switzerland, and had here first exhibition here, but that doesn't qualify her for the list of Swiss people. Most encyclopedias list her as "french painter and sculptor".

This is a trivial category with vague criteria. It duplicates category info. I'm removing it. -- ℜob C. alias ⒶⓁⒶⓇⓄⒷ 16:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Edwin fischer.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
The following images also have this problem:
