{{ping|Nizil Shah}} : can you explain why you reverted the inclusion of categories :Category:Religion and suicide and :Category:Deaths by starvation ? jnestorius(talk) 14:41, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

:{{ping|Jnestorius}}. :Category:Deaths by starvation lists people who died of starvation so it is irrelevant. :Category:Religion and suicide is removed because equating Sallekhana with suicide is discussed at lenghth here:Talk:Sallekhana/Archive_1#Suicide. 1. Jain scriptures and followers of Jainism clearly differentiate between suicide and Sallekhana. 2. Indian judiciary has not pronounced its final judgement to consider it suicide. The issue is sub judice. In both ways, sallekhana is compared with suicide but not considered as suicide except by the activists who has litigated in courts. So placing it under :Category:Religion and suicide is like accepting it as suicide. The article is already placed in its parent category :Category:Religion and death which is OK. Hope this clarifies. Regards, :) -Nizil (talk) 17:29, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

:: List of people who died of starvation is a list, but :Category:Deaths by starvation is not a list, it is a category. Most of the articles are biographical articles (about people who died by starvation) but some are not. Deaths by Sallekhana are deaths by starvation. Placing Sallekhana under :Category:Religion and suicide does not imply that Sallekhana is a form of suicide; it implies that the article discusses religion and suicide. jnestorius(talk) 23:34, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
