Hi there, sorry, I've not done this before and apologies if this is not the best route. But I have a question: is there a reason why you've included the means by which the subject took his own life? The reason I ask, as both a Samaritan listening volunteer as well as an Oxford Utd fan, is that the advice to media from Sams in terms of articles covering suicide is not to be explicit about this kind of info. The two media references, for example, don't give this detail. Grateful for your thoughts on this. Thanks. Rodger Evans 90.243.90.179 (talk) 15:52, 18 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

I share your concern (as a fellow Oxford fan and as a human being). The relevant Wikipedia policy would appear to be MOS:SUICIDE. There doesn't appear to be any advice there on mentioning the means, but perhaps there should be. It might be worth opening a discussion at WT:MOSMED, which is probably the best place to discuss the wider issue where more people, particularly experienced Wikipedians qualified to comment in this sensitive area, will see it.
