Indeed, but is it «french-speaking» or not, then ? I've asked the question before... the same goes for flemish belgian politicians, whose native language is dutch but who speak also french (Belgium being a half-french speaking country). Must french be the native language or not, then ?

Ok, what we've got so far (49 names but 5 already gone): Claire Maurier Jean-Louis Trintignant Renée Simonot Danielle Darrieux Juliette Greco Albert Uderzo Jacques Chirac Johnny Hallyday Andre Gounelle Valéry Giscard d'Estaing Liliane Bettencourt Pierre Cardin Petula Clark Jean-Paul Gaultier Michael Lonsdale Raymond Cauchetier Agnès Varda Paul Bocuse Zizi Jeanmaire Gérard Depardieu Jean-Luc Godard Bernadette Chirac Jeanne Moreau Jean-Marie Le Pen Brigitte Bardot Alain Badiou Roman Polanski Just Fontaine Alain Delon Jérôme Golmard Anne Golon Charles Aznavour Emmanuelle Riva Hubert de Givenchy Jacques Delors Roland Dumas Suzy Delair Michel Sardou Gilles Jacob Jacqueline Boyer Isabelle Aubret France Gall Vicky Leandros Stéphane Audran Leslie Caron Antonine Maillet Paul Biya Manu Dibango Bernard Tapie

This turn out to be catastrophic for me...

23 march 2019. He's a tough one.

My fifth too !

Sallis & Christie... bad bad picks... I think I got more hits on my inverse than on my shadowlist

Well, I think I could easily put 50 decent names or even more on a list without too much effort. What we need are rules so the list is managed like the one on this website (do there can be a sort of competition between the two lists): - a committee, to finally decide who's on the list and who' not, and the order of the list - well-defined rules about who could be in or not (for example, Jodie Foster speaks very good french...) - obit rules ; wikipedia is an option, we could also choose french reference newspapers like Le Monde, or decide that an obit in any newspapers written in french would be OK... And finally, what makes the fun is the ability for everyone to have his/her personal list to compete against the committee... Or I could end up making a website myself (why not under franchise of deathlist.net ?)

Picked Hefner, 'cuz I need it...

I don't really get the point of this thread : do we just randomly throw names, are we getting to build up a list of 50 names aside the main one, or do we make a deadpool with rules and so ?

For the english-speaking deathlist, an obit has to be posted on UK media for taking a death into account. (See above the list on the frontpage). That won't be the case here, so do we say "French media" (not really fair for us belgians, but hey...) ? Or the Wikipedia page ? (Our reference at work).

Hi, I'm from the french-speaking part of Belgium and we use to play our own deathlist with some colleagues for three years now... Had the same idea, too. What we first need to agree on is a common reference for obits, I think...

Entering for the first time today... Mary Carlisle Javier Perez de Cuellar Alberto Fujimori Helmut Kohl Charles Manson King Michaël Robert Mugabe Prince Philip Jean-Louis Trintignant Chuck Yeager

Ouch.

Nah, got him too... Bad bad beginnings...

I'm with king Michael 😁
