Inclusion in the article
If you are here to ask about the length or inclusiveness of the article's list, or why certain people are not listed in it, please see the archived discussions "Citations Needed" and "Unsourced material in need of sourcing", which took place mainly in January and February 2010. A wide consensus, which included a consultation with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, agreed that any addition of a person to the article must be accompanied by a reliable, verifiable source that with a properly formatted inline citation where that person's name appears in the list. Merely wikilinking to that person's article is not permitted, nor is leaving a cite in a bulleted list of sources at the bottom of the article. The uncited entries that were in the article prior to that discussion were moved to a subpage. Editors who wish to complete the article by adding missing suicides are encouraged to look through that list, find appropriate sources, and add them back into the article with the proper citations.

Could Richey Edwards count as a debated suicide? I won't add it but I think it's something to think about Leid Elend (talk) 23:51, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying Richey quit??? 2.24.145.57 (talk) 19:39, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to the Alphabet search function at the top of the screen, one used to be able to search by A B C etc. and it would take you to the names starting with the letter, is there a reason why it this function was removed? RomanGrandpa (talk) 17:36, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
