Planning, role-playing, self-harm, and attempts would each be sufficient. Thinking of suicide without planning is not sufficient, even when such thoughts include the prerequisites.
That said, if you're unsure about whether you are planning suicide, seeking help is warranted.
In the mental health settings where I've worked, there are lots of variations on this theme.
Suicidal ideation: thinking about killing yourself. Passive suicidal ideation: thinking it would be good if you died, but not by your own action. Intent: wanting to kill yourself. Plan: having a way you want to do it. Means: you have access to the way you plan to do it.
Ideation itself is one indicator of depression. Having several of these would be an indicator of more immediate danger.
