192:, well thought out, and the wikified nature makes it self sourcing. Its a dark subject matter and has a certain amount of ICKY factor to it, but that doesn't matter. In the end, it is exactly what an encyclopedia is supposed to do, particularly one that is not a paper encyclopedia. So, in spite of my first, knee jerk reaction, I have no choice but to say KEEP. 161:
Although "utter lack of reliable sources" sounds very dramatic, it would be very easy to source this one. This is superior to a category, which would be limited to the information that a person committed suicide, with no info about the circumstances. Finally, there's a question of taste in slapping

Why should it be deleted? No reason was given in the nomination. When proposing an article for deletion, a reason should be given, otherwise it shouldn't even count as a nomination. The list has only notable people and if made into a category it wouldn't be able to have supplementary information.
244:. This used to be a very bad list, but it's improved since the last nomination. Referencing lists by linking to an article with sources is acceptable (and common), and the present version of the list has been pretty thoroughly vetted for completely unreferenced items. Although 209:
a useful well-done list and certainly it falls within the definition of lists in WP. The fact that this could also be a category if irrelevant; WP allows for both lists and categories on the same subject; they serve different purposes.

More important than that the fact that the subject matter is notable is the fact that a List can provide context that a Category can not, and this article puts that to good use.
