Assisted suicide or euthanasia?

@CommanderShepardX: I don't have the exclusive right to describe Röling's manner of death and neither do you. I made a bold edit, you reverted it, now we all discuss it. I think we all know where the two of us stand. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source linked on the deaths page (barring the translation not being great) doesn't really stipulate the wording, and the second source used on his page is paywalled so I can't assess it there. Face value the two seem essentially the same thing, just comes down to method. So ultimately I would probably go with whichever way the source puts it. But like I said, can't even see if it's ever stated in the sources that this is the COD. Rusted AutoParts 23:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Technically speaking, assisted suicide is a self-administered euthanasia but aided directly by a third party, whereas plain euthanasia is always administered only by a third party, and not by the self in any way. Find out which of the two applies in this case and you find out which one to use. Ref ^(chew)(do) 00:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sonya Massey, Thomas Matthew Crook

Why are these people included? They were not notable before they died. DrKilleMoff (talk) 09:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because they are dead and they, or their death, have a Wikipedia article. That is sufficient to be listed here. WWGB (talk) 10:17, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For one month, just to further clarify - if they remain mere redirects to an event article, and the event article does not eventually provide any biography on them as individuals, they should normally be removed after that. Ref ^(chew)(do) 14:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
