Category:Suicide attempt

edit
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Queen of Hearts (talk) 00:28, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Newly created and badly-named category of unclear necessity. Apart from the head article about the concept, there's only one article about an individual suicide attempt here, and even that is actually about an academic's theory that a notable person made an unpublicized suicide attempt rather than about a fully verified event.
We do not have any other standalone articles about unsuccessful suicide attempts to file here, however -- and while we do have a limited number articles about successful suicides that have achieved notability as events, even Category:Suicides mainly comprises the suiciders' main biographical articles themselves rather than spinoff articles about their suicides as independent topics: by and large, "Suicide of X" articles only exist if and when the event is notable but the person themselves was not previously notable in life in order to qualify for a conventional biographical article, and virtually never exist as separate spinoffs from the biographical article of a person who had already passed notability standards before offing themselves.
So this isn't needed just to hold two articles, but the lack of any other standalone articles about unsuccessful suicide attempts means the only way to expand this would be to start adding biographical articles to it, which would be both (a) unmaintainable, and (b) an extreme WP:BLP minefield.
And even if there were a reason to keep this, it would have to be renamed to the plural Category:Suicide attempts anyway. Bearcat (talk) 15:59, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
