Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suicide methods (3rd nomination)
It seems that this article is being nominated for deletion solely out of certain individuals' notions of propriety and morality (and this moral outlook is not shared by everyone: personally, I see no problem with suicide, and much less with an article on the ways in which people do it).  There is no policy-based reason for this article to be deleted, and its topic is noteworthy.  The article itself is well referenced, although it could do with a cleanup, particularly for language and style.  However, the presence of the odd comma splice is obviously not why this discussion is occurring.  The nominator writes about the article being "ethically bankrupt" and so forth: ''I'' think it is providing a worthwhile public service (and this doesn't really matter, since "ethical conduct" is |no more what Wikipedia is about than performing public services).   The article provides solid information on a phenomenon which is a part of life, and deleting the article will not remove suicide from society, so this whole fiasco is a pointless waste of bandwidth.  Wikipedia doesn't exist to save people from their own actions, it exists to provide them with information.  So the article must stay
