Reference style

If you are going to use this reference style, you should consider using {{Harv}} templates (or its derivatives such as {{Harvnb}}), which create a link from the short footnote to the full citation in the "Sources" section. The way the article is currently written is quite awkward; for instance, "Gunnel et al." goes to a footnote that merely says "Gunnel et al.", and a reader not realizing there is a Sources section below would be wondering what the full bibliographical citation is.

See Street newspaper and Chinese classifier for some examples of articles using the Harv templates for citation. rʨanaɢ (talk) 02:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

I think the cite style is okay as it is. Using harv refs would pretty much mean changing the whole ref style. Christopher Connor (talk) 04:27, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey yo, random depressed person who is reading these articles about suicide - please seek help. Life is better. Don't end your life just because something went bad. Peace my brother. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.137.96.173 (talk) 13:33, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Recommended methods?

I seriously question the need to have a recommendation on what type and gauge of rope to use in this article. Does the suicide by handgun article recommend .45 caliber instead of .22 LR rounds? Does the self-immolation article recommend using petrol rather than kerosene? Show me any other credible encyclopedia that provides recommendations on how to commit suicide and I'll withdraw my objection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenblend (talk • contribs) 14:10, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Link to helplines?

People are likely to use this as some kind of instruction manual as to how to commit suicide. We should include some link to a list of suicide helplines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JubJub343434 (talk • contribs) 04:09, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

That would definitely be helpful and informative. Cold as it sounds, it is not Wikipedia's mandate to provide a directory of links to sources. In this article, I added a link to List of suicide crisis lines under the See also secion.

A similar link could be useful in other articles. I don't know if the Wikipedia community has discussed this before. Willondon (talk) 04:16, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

How does WP:NDA apply to warnings of serious injury and harm?

@Some1: Again, WP:DISCLAIMERS talks specifically about censorship and spoilers. I can see no good reason not to include a warning of potential harm or death that could be caused by viewing content on Wikipedia. Is there anything else you can support your revert with? —FORMALDUDE^(talk) 23:01, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

As Investigation is Going on by CBI So we can't say "Suicide by Hanging" Soumyajit 2029 (talk) 10:26, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Inaccurate info and not great cited sources

paragraph 2 says that people consider this a simple method but also, a non-complicated method, but that their perception is inaccurate. Then goes on to say "a study of people who attempted suicide by hanging and lived usually suggests that this perception may not be accurate." 1. Simple is the same as non-complicated, no need to say both 2. It sounds like its saying the inaccuracy is the simplicity of it yet the quoted source states "Those favouring hanging anticipated a certain, rapid and painless death with little awareness of dying and believed it was a ‘clean’ method that would not damage the body or leave harrowing images for others." And even this source is bad, the title is 'Factors influencing the decision to use hanging as a method of suicide: qualitative study' but the study only interviewed "12 men and 10 women who had survived a near-fatal suicide attempt. Eight respondents had attempted hanging.
