    The 100 Club

    Prince Philip would be an obvious choice. Or Tom Moore, depite being a recent celebrity. And Hans Albert, there where so few philosophers represented.

    Political Frailty

    Who do you count as communists? Egon Krenz definitely, Lothar de Maizière is not really a communist, and Sabine Bergmann-Pohl was definitely not a communist.

    Derby Dead Pool 2020

    It has been a while ago, but one of my first ever Deadpool picks (Caskets on Parade in my winning year 2008) has finally died: http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2009/celebs_M.html#martno Noël Martin, a Jamaican-born former construction worker, who got attacked by Neo-Nazis back in 1996 and was paralyzed since then. He annouced in 2007 to seek for euthanasia (which he never implemented): https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/24-jahre-nach-dem-anschlag-in-mahlow-neonazi-opfer-noel-martin-gestorben/19935010.html An obscure choice that days, today maybe one of twenty possible picks on a team.

    Besides: Some of the last scores were an Albanian First Lady, a Barbadian cricketer, a French actor and - if this was not optimistic - a German priest, whose brother had been pope Bishop of Munich.

    Deadpooling without optimism is like eatingw ithout appetite. A person without an obit is either obscure or alive, let's see, what we are next year.
