Commit vs Died By for Suicide

While I understand your rationale, Wikipedia is governed by consensus. That consensus has agreed many times that the verb 'commit' is the verb of choice for suicides.

You may wish to seek to change that, and you have every right to do so. Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) is a likely venue to raise such an issue. You may be asked to migrate it to a different venue, but one has to start somewhere.

Before the outcome of any consensus making proposals you make please do not edit the word 'commit' when juxtaposed with 'suicide'.

I am not making a comment on the choice of words, simply upon prior consensus and the way things work here. I do not wish to get into a discussion with you over which wording is correct, at least here. I may choose to do so in a full consensus discussion.
