Content fork from suicide methods; neither subject matter nor content strikes me as encyclopedic. Orange Mike | Talk 22:45, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Also considerably duplicates/overlaps defenestration. --Orange Mike | Talk 22:46, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

• Delete Really? This is an encyclopedic article? I don't think so. I agree it should be put into a section on suicides, but not this. Also note that defenestration is when someone else thtows you out a window, not when you yourself jump. They are different. Nezzadar (speak) 22:52, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Acts of jumping out of windows should be included somewhere, and wherever it is should be either a part of defenestration or linked to defenestration. As for defenestration itself, the etymology suggests that the emphasis should be put on "out of a window", and not necessarily how the object or person came to leave the window towards the ground. — Rickyrab | Talk 23:00, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Moreover, this article should be fixed up, not deleted, if the only complaint is its lack of encyclopedicness. Otherwise, your argument seems to boil down to WP:IDONTLIKEIT. — Rickyrab | Talk 23:02, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
• Either keep or include as part of Defenestration. Consensus on the Defenestration page kept me from including notable incidents of people jumping out of windows in the defenestration article, leading me to create a new article concerning the jumping of people out of windows. There are a number of reasons why I felt this subject belonged on defenestration, but there was strong opposition on that article's talk page, due to people regarding defenestration as merely the act of throwing people or things out of windows, even though jumping from a window is an act of throwing oneself from a window. — Rickyrab | Talk 22:53, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
• Smerge into defenestration. Grutness...wha? 23:01, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge as above - we don't need this article any more than we would need driving a motorcycle above and beyond motorcycle or eating corn above and beyond corn. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:12, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
• I'd probably move it to "Suicide by jumping" so it can more broadly include jumping from roofs, bridges, aircraft, etc. — CharlotteWebb 14:17, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
