Chirac is a decent pick for this year. I've excluded him from my own personal list though in favour of Jean-Marie Le Pen who I regard as being that bit more likely to die this year
-
Can`t believe he isn`t on the list.I know he is responding to treatment but stage 4 bowel cancer that has spread to the liver and lungs hat was diagnosed 18 months ago as well as having a high media profile!!! I thought that would guarantee him a place.Would have been a perfect edition to the top 10 of the Death list.I really can`t seem him making 2017.He has also not been posting much on twitter and facebook recently only that one of his shows was cancelled due to "Unforseen circumstances".
The DL Committee were obviously stoned out of their brains when making the list hence they got him confused with Tommy Chong.

Don't know much about him but he seems like a reasonably good choice. I'd never heard of him for one and I'm not a thick, ignorant type
-
I think there's no doubt Gazza will die young, but whether it will be this year or not is uncertain. He might be a wasted pick, but we might just get lucky.
-
Another thing I just realised about Boutros Boutros-Ghali: his name is like a porno threesome. BBG.
-
Don't know too much about Robert M Pirsig but went for him anyway
-
I actually aren't very optimistic about this years list. Max number of hits around 12-13.
Me neither.
I think last year the whole thing with not being able to get past 14 hits despite waiting nearly 2 months for a death was partly karma for not including Sir Nicholas Winton on the list. I would have had him at #1 on the 2015 list with Zsa Zsa second.
Lee Yuan Kew should also definitely have been on last year's list.
This year? There are some good picks on this year's list, but also some major omissions and some iffy picks as well. Some of these "iffy picks" are new blood, further down the list, and some of them I don't actually know that much about. So I agree with you. I don't see this year's list as being as good as last year's, but who knows, time will tell!

The only reason I know his name is cause of this interview
I always thought he came across really well in this interview!Didn`t take himself too seriously and was up for a laugh despite being a serious statesmen!
He handled it really well!
Whatever persona Sasha Baron Cohen is playing, his aim is to take the piss out of every cunt. Boutros Boutros-Ghali was having none of it!
What year is that from?

Sinead O'Connor and Peter Maxwell Davies are dead certs were they picked?
What exactly is wrong with Sinead O'Connor? Everyone seems to be mentioning her name around here at the moment
Crazy and suicidal.
Any woman who thinks having a shaved head is a good look has to be slightly nuts, I suppose, but any particular reason for her being suicidal? I haven't heard any gossip about it anywhere else other than this site.

Leaving Howard Marks off was sheer stupidity, just like leaving Sir Nicholas Winton off the 2015 list was really, really dumb.
I like the inclusion of Boutros Boutros-Ghali - as I said earlier, isn't he just such an adorable cutie? Here's that photo again just to remind you:
Aside from that, new picks like Robert M Pirsig for example seems like a good choice, but why him and not the likes of I. M. Pei or Alistair Urquhart or Desmond Morris any of the other good choices suggested?
Taking off the likes of Robert Mugabe, Doris Day, Helmut Kohl and Hosni Mubarak is IMHO a bad idea, I could see any of these figures not lasting the year...
Not sure about some of the newer picks lower down the list as I honestly don't know enough about them to be able to comment on whether they are good picks or not!
-
Boutros-Ghali is basically think Javier Perez de Cuellar, except with a funnier face and name.
Gotta love everything about Boutros Boutros-Ghali! He's such a cutie:
-
This is going to leave the DL selection team in a bit of a dilemma...
Cancer-free - but for how long? And even without the cancer, he's still 92 years of age next year...
I think we should put Carter in occupying slot 50, in light of the new developments.

Ronnie Corbett would probably be a good candidate for 2016.
Agree with those who have said Sean Connery definitely deserves his own thread, unless there's a thread for James Bond related people.

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/olivia-de-havilland-dishes-vicious-feud-joan-fontaine
The Enquirer talks about how she is doing pretty good health-wise, dressing fancy every day, and ready to write a book, promote it on a tour, and make it to 100!!!
So the question is, will she die this week or next week?
But in all seriousness, I think the Enquirer is right this time. Olivia seems to be doing great. I don't think I'll include her on my 2016 list, I'd advise the good folks at the Deathlist Committee to do the same.
I would advise against ever taking her off DL.We don`t want another Patrick Moore and beside when Priebke and Pincher turned 100 everyone went on about how great they look.Centenarians can deteriate rapidly. Plus if the committee left off a 100 year old double Oscar Winner it would look fairly foolish is she died.I think that any candidates born before 1920 should be on until they die.
Agreed. There should be a rule that those who are 95+ and are on the list, should be on the list until they die

Olivia De Havilland- 99 Years Old
Cher- 69 years old
Penny Marshall-72 years old?
Eve Marie Saint- 90 will be turning 91 soon
Cloris Leachman- 89 years old and supposedly has Alzheimer's disease. So she could be a possible candidate for the 2016 list.
George Gaymes- 101 years old
Mary Carisle- 101 years old
How is Cher at death's door exactly?

Another name for you...
Geert Hofstede, b. 1928, Dutch psychologist
-
Has philosopher Jurgen Habermas (b. 1929) ever been mentioned on here before?
-
Also has Hans Blix (b. 1928) former UN weapons inspector ever been mentioned on here?
-
Efraín Ríos Montt (god knows how you even pronounce that) - b. 1926, former Guatemalan president, was on trial this year for crimes against humanity. Good DL pick?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efra%C3%ADn_R%C3%ADos_Montt -
I don't have time to read through this whole thread (even though I'm sitting in alone on a Saturday night) but I'm assuming Australian media owner Reg Grundy (b. 1923) has been mentioned in this thread?
-
I'm just going to keep picking Jimmy till he croaks it...
He should definitely be on the 2016 list, assuming he lasts that long
-
John Berger - novelist and art critic, b. 1926 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Berger
Eric Brown - world record holding pilot, b. 1919 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Brown_%28pilot%29
Either of these names ever been mentioned on here before?

There's more than an outside chance you may live to regret those words.
