You are all overthinking this. Open a thread, watch with amusement as people get overwrought about something that doesn't really matter, wait for someone with a banhammer to decide if it needs to be open. They have the only opinion that matters around here - everyone else is pissing in the wind. In the meantime, go live your real life.

Sounds like he just popped in to retrieve something he left on an earlier visit

Don't give up your day job.

Never heard of the whale. Never seen the gif. Assumed she the unknown sister of Johhny. Obitable / yes. Thread worthy / no.

Never heard of her. Been watching the 80s TOTP so heard Linda Nolan several times. Ian St John never had a football highlight, that's a misdirection....

Probably more famous than both Linda Nolans. I'm sorry to say that I'd guess that at best, whoever this no mark is, she'd be relevant to say less than 10 per cent of the UK population. She's probably less relevant in the UK than Big Van Vader....

Pretty bold assessment putting Mel Brooks in that mix

Relevant? Only to the lowest common denominator.

52 years old. Star of a terrible reality show called Dance Moms which ran for 6 years. Has her own Wikipedia page. More famous than Tiffany Youngs but less famous than Mitzi Shore. Obese. Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma which isn't terminal but her chances of dying are quite high. Spotted looking rough in a wheelchair, earning her a "Sad Last Days" article. All in all, should she have her own thread? Mibbies aye, mibbes naw.

I see nothing above here that qualifies as heat. Carry on....

She's the star of a reality TV show that's been running for god-knows-how-long and her going to prison was front page of the gossip rags both sides of the Atlantic, she counts.

Her cancer has a 90% cure rate.Not convinced she is a goner yet.

More famous than Laszlo Panaflex and Loongkonaan combined

Twice now. I on the other hand is having a lovely afternoon with a Dan Jones Box Set on the War of the Roses from Channel 5. Well it’s one battle England will win at anyway

(Spade Cooley rants) Personal rules: 1) Are they someone who will attract any interesting discussion? Cliff Richard probably isn't going to drop dead any time soon, but there's always lots of rumour and innuendo about him 2) Are they actually famous? Threads for the second bass player from The Bluetones probably aren't valuable 3) Are they in the public eye? Threads about hermits won't work, which is why I wouldn't start a, say, Bobbie Gentry thread. However, Jenny Ditski got a thread from me because she was very vocal on Twitter during her final months. 4) Are you post-whoring? Please don't. ---------------------------- (2 days later) Me irl if ALM drops dead before I can use her in any pools:

Maartin Allcock has terminal liver cancer. http://www.maartinallcock.com/main.htm

Two seconds on Google brings up her current publisher: Elizabeth Lemarchand was born in 1906. She became a teacher at The Godophin School in Salisbury. Her first book Death of an Old Girl was published in 1967. Elizabeth passed away in 2000 at the age of 94.

Didn't know Mail had their own equivalent of Guardian's Other Lives! Glad at least one unique gamble paid off.

Sir Yank to you sharon

I don't have much to work with here. Toast is more suited to ska. Toastin' Toastie.

In the list of next year, the Argentine-Mexican actress Rosita Quintana (July 16, 1925) could be added
