Talk:Suicide of Jacintha Saldanha

Notability

I created this article from the existing portion of this[1] article, as I feel that the event is notable one, widely discussed in international media. Further, the radio programmers impersonalised the Queen and Prince to enquire about the health of Duchess, and this seems notable. Rayabhari (talk) 18:31, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure a notability tag is the most appropriate. What kind of "reliable, secondary sources" are needed in order to remove it? Aren't there enough already? Siuenti (talk) 19:27, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I believe further discussion was needed regarding the article title before carrying out your proposal. For the article to be notable the focus of it shouldn't be Saldanha's death. It should be written as an article about the hoax phone call, the tragic repercussions of it (at that point focussing on what happened to Saldanha) and the effect it is having on the use of prank phone calls and the radio industry in general. The style should match this article and have a similar format for the title. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 21:43, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I really don't think this article is required. Tragic as it is for everyone concerned, I think a short paragraph in Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge's article would be sufficient. Two hundred sources still doesn't make this notable. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 23:27, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I agree - the notability is questionable in terms of the need for the article (or lack-thereof). joepa^T 02:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

I agree that it would be better if the title could reflect the hoax scandal as a whole, and not just the nurse's death, but this is still the most notable 'suicide' in terms of international coverage and reprecussions I've ever witnessed. A short paragraph in the Duchess of Cambridge's article would be just bizarre.–Kiwipat (talk) 03:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

As per Kiwipat. It is really most notable 'suicide' in terms of media coverage, proposed enquiries, legal actions and repurcussions. Rayabhari (talk) 04:34, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

More notable than the death of David Kelly?. Sadly the circumstances of this suicide are only so notable because of her proximity to the Duchess of Cambridge. Its easy for sensational stories to appear huge nowadays because of the ouroboros like nature of the media cycle. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 12:52, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Good lady driven to suicide by toxic combination of trash radio and royalty, that's notable enough for me. Rothorpe (talk) 14:01, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

I believe that its notable because of several reasons- involves people from three different nationalities, involves the Royal family, involves the present state of popularity driven media which attempts to make money on presenting next level shock value and lastly presents how superimposed trigger over a disturbing work environment can push someone to this extent. At the same its notable to see how the events unfold because though it was nobody's mala fide intent for a such a thing to happen but rather born out of circumstances we live in. But yes, a general discussion is required regarding the title of the article.⚕ Dr. ANK (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:59, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Note: For those who've not already seen it, there's some discussion pre-dating the above at Talk:Jacintha Saldanha. -- Trevj (talk) 12:21, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I don't understand...

Why did she commit suicide? Spannerjam 21:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Stop removing her previous suicide attempts

Will people stop removing her previous attempts at suicide? I have added it to the article multiple times. It was proven and factual that she had made two previous attempts at suicide and was on anti-depressants. Stop censoring the truth about this story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KimchiCowboy (talk • contribs) 08:13, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Should articles on a suicide be so broadly categorized?

Some of these categories apply to the person, but this is an event article. It would seem better to male a redirect from the person and place in it categories that do not apply to the event.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:10, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
