Many of the editing conversations were held on user talk pages. The essay's release was delayed pending the closure of a major discussion on the migration of a large number of <i>Suicide of Foo</i> articles to <i>Foo</i> which was closed in favour of their remaining as <i>Suicide of Foo</i> in accordance with the policies and guidelines which obtain today. This essay (and its talk page) is not the place to discuss those policies and guidelines. It simply reflects them. Should they alter then aspects of this essay should also alter. <a href="/wiki/User:Timtrent" title="User:Timtrent">Fiddle Faddle</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Timtrent" title="User talk:Timtrent">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_on_suicides#c-Timtrent-2013-05-03T08:54:00.000Z-Release" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:54, 3 May 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Timtrent-2013-05-03T08:54:00.000Z-Release"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-05-03T08:54:00.000Z","author":"Timtrent","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Timtrent-2013-05-03T08:54:00.000Z-Release","replies":[],"displayName":"Fiddle Faddle"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Timtrent-2013-05-03T08:54:00.000Z-Release"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Timtrent-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z","replies":["c-Timtrent-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?"],"text":"There is scope to extend the essay, but is it beneficial?","linkableTitle":"There is scope to extend the essay, but is it beneficial?"}--><h2 id="There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?" data-mw-thread-id="h-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z"><span id="There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay.2C_but_is_it_beneficial.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z"></span>There is scope to extend the essay, but is it beneficial?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_on_suicides&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: There is scope to extend the essay, but is it beneficial?"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Timtrent-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z","replies":["c-Timtrent-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?"]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-Timtrent-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?","timestamp":"2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__1__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Timtrent-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z","replies":["c-Timtrent-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?"],"text":"There is scope to extend the essay, but is it beneficial?","linkableTitle":"There is scope to extend the essay, but is it beneficial?"}--></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Timtrent-2013-05-05T23:07:00.000Z-There_is_scope_to_extend_the_essay,_but_is_it_beneficial?"></span>Without an enormous amount of effort this essay might be extended to encompass notable murders also.
