Yes when I did her write up for my work game I caused quite a stir with the vitriol I asked whether she will be remembered as the faux scouse pop Princess or the bastard mother of the worst excesses of reality TV.

I just added this to the first post: It is a valid criticism to say that the lack of rules may affect the quality of names or the formality of this deadpool. Some people already make a Shadow DeathList and I want this to be a place where we can compare them. For 2022, at least, I won't have formal rules on names. Being reported in the newspaper and having a Wikipedia Article that isn't a stub will go a long way. Could you suggest a higher level of fame criteria I could use that wouldn't be too strict? I think the balance here could just be Bibliography's reference to the Punt Pool of some kind of council of 5 voting on borderline names with "a simple 3:2 majority allows them in".

They're all interchangeable clones of one another, liars, dissemblers & incompetents, each one as bad as the one they replace, apart from the ones who are worse. The sooner we get PR the better.
