Talk:The Complete Manual of Suicide

Fair use rationale for Image:The Complete Manual of Suicide.jpg
Image:The Complete Manual of Suicide.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

verifiable?
Is there verifiable information that this book was found with bodies of people who committed suicide?

...Because the Japanese criminal code censors only graphical depictions of the sexual organs, this book was not censored by the    government. Some prefectures designated the book as yugaitosho (book harmful to youth), which restricts the sale of books to minors, while some prefectures, such as Tokyo, decided against doing so. There are many suicides where the book was found along with the body, including several cases of the suicides of junior high school students. The book neither encourages nor discourages suicide, and as well does not tell those considering suicide to seek help, though wordings such as "completely painless" and "marvelous experience" are used to indicate that certain methods are less painful and more fatal than others....

Who is the publisher?
For anyone who will try to solve the question of who the publisher is here is some information I dug up. says "Publisher: Yurindo", a later book he made that might have been from the same publisher says "Publisher: Ota Shuppan; Shohan edition (1994)". Also a publishing company called either "Ohta Books" or "Ota Books" may also be the publisher. That's as far as I got. --Koolabsol (talk) 12:28, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
