I propose (a) removing non-notable entries and (b) removing the URLs, which listing here appears to be contact details, which WP:NOTDIR specifically prohibits. Stuartyeates ( talk) 02:32, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
If anyone wants to remove non-notable entries because "Writing or providing material in hopes of preventing suicide is not within the scope of our project, which is to create an encyclopedia", feel free to replace the article with this Wikipedia-appropriate draft: User:8ty3hree/List of suicide crisis lines (draft). 8ty3hree ( talk) 03:01, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

The WMF has recently published a similar list at meta:Support and Safety/Mental health resources, as part of the WP:911 procedure. We may wish to coordinate with them, and bring both lists up to appropriate quality. TheDragonFire ( talk) 09:00, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
Removed Headspace since it says on its website : https://www.eheadspace.org.au/whats-eheadspace/is-this-service-right-for-me/ that their services is not for people who need emergency assistance. I also contacted them by email and they said that their service is not fitted to be on this page. "is not a suicide crisis service and is not suitable for this as we provide mild to medium level intervention."

Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't the article have at least some form of protection? I know it's easy to spot vandalism, but this honestly feels like something that should be a public resource that should be untampered with. I mean, anyone could just replace the numbers with things like troll numbers, or even a recording that could encourage suicide. I'm not saying that those kind of numbers exist, I'm just saying. Same for websites, if you think about it. Again, that's just my thought, feel free to correct me. 71.213.254.156 ( talk) 07:23, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
This article was kept as keep in a previous discussion in 2012. Subsequent discussion over list content as suggested in the AfD was brief and unproductive.
What should this list contain? Does the list's inclusion of phone numbers or bare URLs violate WP:NOTDIR? Does the list's inclusion of non-notable crisis lines or emergency telephone numbers violate the List selection criteria? Should we ignore it? Should we also link to Meta:Mental health resources? 9 3 ( talk) 02:34, 29 April 2019 (UTC) Edited in the main question in bold 01:32, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

I have seen on this page, people who talked about this article not being necessary nor encyclopedic in nature. I want to say why I think differently than that. I came to wikipedia seeking Suicide Hotlines because a friend is in dire need. I did not go to any other source first, because I have come to trust the information on wikipedia over the many years of using it. I can go elsewhere on the internet for the same information, sure, HOWEVER, it will not be information that is vetted by a whole "world of people" like wikipedia. I trust here. I ask that this article please never be removed. As for it being a list, it is not only a list, it indeed is a helpful resource that could not be as effectively communicated in any other way. It belongs in any "living and breathing" encyclopedia like wikipedia, in my opinion, and the only reason you might not find it in major "printed versions" of encyclopedias, is that the telephone information can change periodically, but that's again why I find this article highly appropriate for wikipedia: the BEST encyclopedia, and a "living and breathing" encyclopedia. I am one voice, but that is my thought and my contribution here. Fallendarlin ( talk) 13:03, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
This list should be pre ordered by contries where suicide rate per capita is highest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8108:140:3118:9836:83A3:CCF5:CABF ( talk) 06:12, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
@ Oshwah: Huh? I mean, I understand that reliable sources are not always in English, but why is a part of a list in a completely different language (Spanish)? It wouldn't make sense if, say, the entire English Wikipedia homepage is in Spanish (and not just your version of the page using the Translate feature in Google Chrome), right? 207.81.187.41 ( talk) 03:54, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
