    People Who Are Dead According To Wikipedia...

    Why post it in here if there’s a published obituary? This thread is for people who have been marked as dead on Wiki but don’t have a source to back up their death.

    Another Brit supercentenarian, Joyce Wooding, died on January 9th, aged 110.

    Oooo just seen that she's a unique pick in the DDP! QOs: Mirror, The Sun, Daily Star. Given that Gento was a hit earlier today and Saturnino just got his QO, that's 21 hits in 19 days!

    That's sad. I love The Time Machine. A really decent stand alone sci-fi back in the pre-Star Wars era when the average sci-fi flick sucked. The last surviving main cast member too. An exceptionally private individual. Her year of birth was disputed online for years as a result, and I'm not sure if the precise place of her birth is even known (somewhere within LA County).

    Derby Dead Pool 2022

    Thought it would be interesting to look at the oldest entries in the DDP this year. Strangely enough, there are exactly 101 centenarian entries as of 18 Jan 2022 (with Ray Anthony the next to join the club on 20 Jan), but that's if we exclude Apilado and Baker Miracle, who were already confirmed to be deceased before the starting line. I'll update this only once – at the end of the year – to see how many scored in the end. The 101 oldest entries in the DDP 2022 1 Kane Tanaka b. 2 Jan 1903 [dead – and a hit!] 2 Sœur Andre b. 11 Feb 1904 (X) Ruth Apilado b. 30 Apr 1908 [already died in 2021 so not valid] 3 Mollie Walker b. 5 Feb 1909 [dead – but didn't obit] 4 Saturnino de la Fuente García b. 11 Feb 1909 [dead – and a hit!] 5 Virginia McLaurin b. 12 Mar 1909 [dead – and a hit!] 6 Lawrence Brooks b. 12 Sep 1909 [dead – and a hit!] 7 Stanisław Kowalski b. 14 Apr 1910 [dead – but didn't obit] 8 Marita Camacho Quirós b. 10 Mar 1911 9 Fauja Singh b. 1 Apr 1911 10 Dagny Carlsson b. 8 May 1912 [dead – and a hit!] 11 John Tinniswood b. 26 Aug 1912 12 Katsumi Tezuka b. 31 Aug 1912 [likely deceased] 13 Boris Pahor b. 26 Aug 1913 [dead – and a hit!] 14 Anne Baker b. 14 May 1914 15 Colette Maze b. 16 Jun 1914 16 Tsuneko Sasamoto b. 1 Sep 1914 [dead – and a hit!] 17 Marian Fuks b. 28 Sep 1914 [dead – but didn't obit] 18 James C.

I remember years back people used to pick loads of the supercentenarians off of the top 100 list on Wiki. If we ignore Fauja Singh and Virginia McLaurin, there are no longevity myth picks either (i.e. world's "oldest" man at 124 from village in India type picks). Have the new rules disallowed such names or are people just getting smarter with their picks over time?

    World's Oldest

    Problem is limited resources and staffing at the GRG. They can't validate cases quick enough. A huge failure on the part of that body is that it has barely expanded during the entirety of its existence (since 1990). It exists as a niche group, with its head spending far too much of his own time chatting on an online forum like an amateur. Long before now, he should have appointed a board, a director and put at the heart of it a goal to drive fundraising efforts and maximise donors so that they could expand and grow. Their website was clearly built in the 90s as the userface looks like a piece of shit. Their "donate" tab doesn't even have anything written on it about why you should give and what it will mean. There's just an ancient PayPal box. *sigh* EDIT: Actually, I hadn't even noticed that they've all but abandoned their website since 2018! Seems they do everything through the forum chat now. *double sigh*

    Isn't the new world's oldest man Juan Vicente Pérez Mora of Venezuela? Born 27 May 1909 (so older than Delio Venturotti who was born 25 Oct 1909). Here's a photo of him from his 112th: He's holding a certificate signed by Dr. Robert Young (@drol's best mate).

    Jerry Hall is just biding her time. She'll wait until he's frail enough not to survive a "fall" down the stairs. And then...

    Well Hugman's has been updated, but they've put his date of death as 27 Jan 2022.

    I'm someone who is generally in the political know, and even to this day I still haven't been to work out who their readership actually is. Their publication is equally despised by Tories and Labourites alike, by young and old, smart and stupid etc. Indeed they're losing millions of £ a year now, and in June of last year the paper was revalued to zero by Murdoch himself. One of my mates at the Telegraph believes he will keep it going by propping it up with money from elsewhere for as long as he's alive, as a "pride thing" as its his "baby". After he kicks the bucket, his sons will likely shut it down. It won't be missed by many.

    Saw this on the paper review this morning. For starters, it’s an old story that The Sun have resurrected. As Eamonn Holmes correctly pointed out, the story carefully avoids disclosing whether this was the case when he himself was a child or whether this was a few years ago. Imagine The Sun trying to engineer twists in a crisis in order to sell papers. Hillsborough anyone?

    I’m very aware. However, both profiles displayed use a description for the politician and each uses a different picture of the politician.

    Who are the immortals?

    Forgot to check if there was an annual Christmas message from Nelson. There was. Looks more or less the same as he did 12 months prior. 98 in September, but before that happens... in March he will overtake Gordon B. Hinckley as the oldest ever head of the Mormon Church.

    I've just replaced the IMDb source with the record from the GRO Index to strengthen it somewhat. Can't promise the page will stay like that. Pedantic editors everywhere on there. They can't accept that not everyone of note gets a newspaper spread!

    Patrick Duffy is listed twice. Once as Patrick Duffy (unique), once as Sir Patrick Duffy (2 teams).

    So I see Larry Storch turned 99 last week. He's the oldest American comedian I know of now. The top 5 oldest to my knowledge are: Larry Storch b. Jan 1923 Woody Woodbury b. Feb 1924 Dick Van Dyke b. Dec 1925 Shecky Greene b. Apr 1926 Mel Brooks b. Jun 1926 Anybody know of any names I've missed?

    Media have been slow on this but one French publication covering here. Supposedly died in a traffic collision.

    Liza Minnelli

    Yeah... the only part I'm not understanding is CBS seem to have used the tagline "Liza Minnelli at 75". She turned 75 in March 2021, so begs the question when was it actually filmed?
  21. Ulitzer95

    Liza Minnelli

    Could be. There is some shaking going on so would suggest something neurological at play. I see it was also noted in the articles covering the interview that her performance that day was a real treat because she "was no longer able to perform to fans".... there's a lot of euphemisms and half statements going on. I'd really like to know what's actually going on as I picked her in the DDP!

    Derby Dead Pool 2022

    The only name that I've come across so far who is a hit but hasn't been added to the total is Joan Copeland, picked by 2 teams. Mirror QO. Which means we've had 18 hits in 17 days. Great start everyone!
  23. Ulitzer95

    Liza Minnelli

    I think it could be new actually, as there's some media coverage of it in the past 24 hours. Albeit, not as much as I'd have thought to have seen. Mouth drooping at one side (sorry if that offends you @TheKeysOfMarinus)... could suggest a past stroke?

    Slightly awkward, but it happens. Thankfully, as you said, it's rare. Out of the thousands of bios I've added to on Wiki over 16 years, I think I've only ever found half a dozen who were mistakenly killed off.
