 * Hello! To improve this article I suggest looking at pag. 306 of the book "Tales of the hanging court" written by Robert Shoemaker and John Hitchcock. I saw something about the last words of the condemned in this page and the following ones. Elia7491 (talk) 15:20, 14 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi! I'd like to suggest Andrea McKenzie's essay "From true confessions to true reporting? The decline and fall of the Ordinary's Account" and Lincoln B. Faller's book "Turned to Account" as references. I think you too could find them useful. GMari92 (talk) 15:09, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

This article
...consisted, essentially, of a kind of definition of the term "final statement", followed by a long, long list of things that were considered "final statements". That is not how we write articles. Besides the matter of original research, for which the article was tagged four years ago (a matter that subsequent editors who added more material did not address), there is the problem that this is simply not how we write articles. Imagine if we wrote Film or Government or K-pop that way. So while reverted saying "no consensus", they failed to address the problems or the argument. It is worth noting that the entire article seems to be redundant to List of last words--which unfortunately has the exact same problem. Drmies (talk) 21:32, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Prinsgezinde, I see you tagged this article in 2015, and correctly so. Drmies (talk) 21:34, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh wow. That was long ago. I see nothing has changed. Interestingly, there is a section for this in the other article. But that other article is a mess for being so indiscriminate, and both suffer from being largely unreliable (many of these quotes, like Socrates', were likely made up).

 * I propose we either merge this article with List of last words or move it to List of final statements. Koopinator (talk) 11:26, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Since my proposal has not met any opposition, i'll go ahead and implement it. Koopinator (talk) 09:10, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
