Then I will revise my thought process and, if it best serves the category, I can post it there, regardless of the deceased's fame.

It then becomes one of those deaths that can fit multiple threads. For instance, the UK Singles Chart thread is a popular one. But, surely, musical acts who've died also deserve to go into a more specific category and not just have their fame measured in how they did in Britain. So, the death can be acknowledged as both those of a known widow(er) who survived their spouse and whatever other more specific category in which they'd fit.

It may not last long, but I will enjoy the view from the top, tied for 1st place in the DDP.

I've always looked at the Widow Shopping thread as being more about a famous couple, with one surviving the other. Alicia Landry had no fame aside from who her spouse was. Hence, the Fringes of Fame thread.
