Death Impends 7,979 Posted January 16, 2022 The DQ verdicts were all made, as hinted by Reptile in the DBN thread. As we're in the home stretch, and in interests of transparency, here's the poor nonentities you all tried to sneak past us this year: Mike Mora - Already explained earlier in thread, not notable for photography career Edith Kwoizalla - First German woman to be vaccinated against COVID. We already excluded the UK equivalents last year. Esther Waitherero - Sister of President Mwai Kibaki of Kenya. No actual coverage that indicates notability. Andrew McAslan - Minor runner who has not had coverage independent of his cancer Phil Rossall - Wheelchair world record not good enough, nor is his fundraising amount Esther Lee - Mentioned her as a no go in the salvage lot thread, reiterating that she is essentially a "family of X" pick even if she's the physical therapist to rather than a relative of Serena Williams Mike Edwards - His football club is too minor a level Robyn Free - I already said she wouldn't count in thread, as "one appearance on a game show" picks have a really high bar, to pass as a pick. She was indeed a pick, so now DQed Dave Marsh - Member of a no-name 60s band who only got coverage as Kym's dying dad. Look if they're a 60s musician and I never heard of them... Martha Sepulveda - Our toughest decision, and there was a lot of backing and forthing. In the end we decided that a case can be notable, but the person at the centre of it not necessarily so. If she fought for the change in that Colombian euthanasia law, it might have been good enough, but in the end she was just the first person to "benefit", for lack of a better word, from a law change that was made irrespective of her Mia Macklin - Social media pick with nowhere near enough followers Brian Morris - Golfer whose PGA "career" was one game, after a terminal illness. Not notable for his actual career, which was very local pre-illness Tiffany Youngs - This came close to sneaking by, as she was in the database pre-FFBI ban. But no, only in the spotlight as Tom's wife 10 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were also a couple of FFBI type picks that made it (with distaste) simply because they had enough notable coverage in their past pre illness to get over the line. I'm sure someone will be pointing those out once the site is up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted January 16, 2022 I see the 'Celebrity Picks' section is accessible. Firstly, a thank you for all the effort put into getting the DDP up and running! I do realize there will be some adjustments to be made over the coming days, as checks are made to ensure all is correct. Whenever that occurs - and there is not a pressing concern - there is a slight adjustment for my team (Fade To Black). The Tony Brown I picked was the NBA referee, not the cricketer. My entry can be double-checked, to confirm. (Watch now as Tony Brown the cricketer dies and Tony Brown the ref does not. That would serve me right.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted January 16, 2022 Won’t say much on the matter, but I think my b team might be the closest to a classic Pelican lineup. Yep, that’s right Pelican, The Whipping Posts will end up winning this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is why I've tried to be polite about it. I've also not been around the forum a whole lot the last couple of weeks, but am today. My luck, I'd only otherwise notice it after one of the Mr. Tony Browns had died, making it more complicated than if I just mention it today and take whatever flak comes with the request. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted January 16, 2022 One thing I’ll say is that for being the most picked celeb, Alagiah only being on 140 teams is a bit underwhelming. Gotta be lowest total for a most picked celeb in a long while… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am surprised that Christina Crawford is still a unique pick and after somebody mentioning George Carey on here in a suggestion thread I didn't think it was good odds he would be unique. But that is balanced by Chris Sarandon and Maggie Dence not being unique when I reckoned at least one of them would be! I was beginning to think I wouldn't surpass 38 this year or only just but to surpass by 6 is an excellent surprise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
