Indiscriminate list full of unsourced original research. The few sources don't concern the subject matter at large, but specific pieces of fiction listed. Zanahary (talk) 23:18, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

- Delete - A completely indiscriminate, poorly sourced, example farm. Actual prose information on the topic of depictions of suicide in fiction could very likely be developed, either under the "Social and Culture" section of the main Suicide article or even potentially as its own article. But this list would not be useful at all in that endeavor since, as pointed out in the nomination, it does not actually include any sources on that topic, just a handful of specific examples, mainly just sourced to the pieces of fiction they are from.

- Delete per Rorshacma. The topic is WP:INDISCRIMINATE, besides being badly sourced. The subject of this article cannot practically built or maintained in a way that meets our policies. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:38, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: This is a gigantic collection of indiscriminate information that could easily include a significant portion of every single fictional work ever created. Furthermore, the vast majority of it is completely uncited. It is simply impossible to maintain this type of list. ―Susmuffin Talk 21:06, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Odd and seemingly random, it's totally unencyclopedic and poorly sourced. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:51, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
