Student suicides at Indian Institutes of Technology

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This topic is notable but consisted of something that might have been a transcript, a long list of students, and some overall statistics. The overall statistics were unsourced. The long list of students presented WP:BLP and WP:NOTNEWS concerns. When removed the page basically has no content. I suggest that this page be deleted (the history of the students names should be erased) and then this topic redirected to the IIT article, where I have incorporated the one remaining sentence. If it then needs to be split back out in the future due to expansion, it can be. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:03, 14 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete – This article was a list of names of students at Indian Institutes of Technology who have committed suicide in the last few years. Especially considering these students don't seem to be notable for any other reason than their suicide, including the names of the deceased is a violation of our biographies of living persons policy, which requires us to consider the impact that this kind of article has on the privacy of families and survivors of these incidents. A relevant policy is WP:BLPNAME. This is not the same thing as List of suicides, which deliberately restricts inclusion in the list to individually notable people. For this reason, the article's history, which still has the list of names, should be deleted. If any editor is interested in writing about the issue of student suicides in general, then I would suggest that they start by adding that information in prose in a subsection of Indian Institutes of Technology, and if that section grows unwieldy, it can be split off at a later date.

 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS as well as the original list of named (and non notable) people this would also fail WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Ajf773 (talk) 02:16, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - per all of the above SalmanZ (talk) 22:09, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. The excessive table details would imply that there is a notable official list of students. However, given that there isn't such a list, it should not be the Wikipedia editor's job to construct a list as original research or WP:LISTCRUFT AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:36, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Draft:IIT Suicides should also be removed if AFD goes through. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:40, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Agree that Draft:IIT Suicides should be also deleted. Capitals00 (talk) 04:24, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
