Events that, while they were covered in the media, there is no demonstration of any lasting significance of the events. Yes, when each event is looked at through the lens of effect on the dead person's family and community, it's a tragic event. However, they do not rise to the level of notability at the national or international level that is necessary for an encyclopedia article; Wikipedia is not a catalog of every individual to take their own life after being bullied. —C.Fred (talk) 15:35, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete since it's too soon for the subject to have its own article. But perhaps the nomination itself is a bit hasty as this could possibly gain traction in the media. Either way, no stare decisis. -The Gnome (talk) 18:19, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Difficult not to be moved by these types of stories but the nom is correct: Wikipedia is not a database for these incidents and it isn't the news. News stories say this should "bring an end to bullying" and the families, as always, have an opinion on the tragedy. Only when this has lasting significance, however, should these articles have been created, not beforehand in anticipation of something that may never materialize.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:23, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - each individual suicide is not notable, and neither has in-depth sources. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 19:21, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Per above — IVORK Discuss 21:38, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, just not notable for a stand alone stub. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Kierzek (talk) 21:57, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
