This would make a fantastic film festival.

All 32 entries are now on the Masterlist. Thank you for a fanrastic response. And now we wait.

Bowie's was the bigger death.. Prince was a midget. Interesting stuff though. Possibly somewhat skewed if one is trying to answer precisely 'who is more famous?' by using wiki hits. As in the case of Kate Spade perhaps, some of this is people hearing about it and saying "who?" and wiki is the first port of call. Also there's probably an age bias as well, MTM might be much more famous than XXXXtenacious or lil peep but more so with those of an age less likely to be looking her up on the net. The author does acknowledge it's not definitive. And it's nicely presented.

https://pudding.cool/2018/08/wiki-death/ Kinda interesting-ish piece on spikes in Wikipedia editing and views after a celebrity dies. Does answer the question of whose death was bigger, Prince or David Bowie's.

I didn't realise how close I was, anatomically speaking.

Perhaps this really could do with a re-vamp and some hard thought and might garner more interest. I'd suggest something along the lines of The Generation Game. Pick so many names, first one to have all their team dead wins, maybe open it up to Dames as well as Knights. Therefore needs fairly little oversight and chunters along merrily until a winner gets announced. Obit requirements could be as stringent (DDP for example) or loose (Hare's/Deathrace) as the runner decides.

And Sophie Aldred is 56 today!

Sylvester McCoy is 75 today!

Well, the emus did win a war against the Australian army, so they’re bound to have a few decent candidates to put up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

OK, don't think anybody had Asia Argento in the sweepstakes.

The only meaning it has is whether or not a name makes the DeathList's DDP team. 1-20 makes it, the rest doesn't.

Aye, and have you seen this guerilla army?

No.

Just found a peach of a film for the next round - rather depends on a quick conclusion to the first round! Mwahahahaha....

Be afraid, Ban Ki-moon, be veeeery afraid...

So....Death - Lister.

I think he and Willie Nelson should have serious consideration for the deathlist next year...

Aye, I suppose I'm due you an apology for that. Not getting one ya hipster

She's shit at taking photos of Big Ben?

Or at least give up your bike if you do.

I am in the same boat. I don't wish death upon her, but when she dies, that will be a HUGE historical day unlike any we've seen in our lifetime, so it does get the heart pumping a bit.

His widow Genna found out she had tumours in her uterus in December 2016. She has announced on The Co-Optional Podcast that she is now undergoing chemo for uterine cancer.

Arleen MacNeil at 46. Sole survivor of a Canadian robbery turned massacre in 92, she lived wheelchair bound for 26 years after taking a bullet to the head leaving her fucked.
