If it was closer to 3 days from the date, then it would be more shocking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,937 Posted September 25, 2017 So after one month, August 25th is still at only 5 notable deaths. It's the most deathless day in years! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,069 Posted September 26, 2017 I thought the idea of this thread was deathless re: DL, not 'kinda deathless re: wiki'. Did I miss something? SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC I started watching that page a couple of years ago. 7 deaths per day was the minimum during that time. Though there was a time when far fewer deaths were reported, but celebrity culture keeps growing... that makes these days with fewer deaths even more notable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,937 Posted March 13, 2018 About half a year after August 25th, 2017, someone must have added one or two names (Ed McGaa? Sharry Konopski?) to that day's list of deaths. The day has now received 7 notable deaths and is thus no longer the most deathless day (well... 7 is the lowest number of the past years, but it is shared with a few other days).

Sir Creep 7,069 Posted March 14, 2018 Those aren’t notable people, presuming the other 5 are just as tepid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,937 Posted April 15, 2018 Now it has filled up, but April 9th is still only at 6 notable deaths. I don't count the racehorse. Everything below 7 is a record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,469 Posted May 3, 2018 As of 5.45pm Wikipedia is still not recording any celeb cadavers for May 3. Surely this can't last another six hours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,069 Posted August 5, 2018 Of some interest is the fact Wikipedia has no notable death entries for today Aug 5 since 2015. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted August 5, 2018 Is it me or has this year been a slow year in death so far? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,469 Posted August 5, 2018 I did check, DDP hits as of this point last year: 162 DDP hits so far this year: 163 Pretty even. There's been a lot more peaks and troughs this year though, whereas last year was a more constant stiff-stream. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,937 Posted August 5, 2018 Considering we have fewer teams this year, this is actually even better. But I guess we haven't had many A+-List deaths. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,210 Posted August 5, 2018 It’s also worth noting that the amount of competitive hits overall this year was lower than last year was. I guess 2016’s hit records won’t be broken for a while... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am guessing we have eclipsed last year's at this point. We have at least 3 or 4 pretty incredible non-QO which would otherwise help our totals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,210 Posted August 5, 2018 I’ve just checked. 32 by this date in 2017 vs a whopping 49 lost entrants this year so far. Definitely more lost picks this year than last. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,210 Posted August 5, 2018 Actually, the total should be 48 since Michael Lapage needs to be removed now he got his QO. But yeah, there are definitely multiple names there that probably should’ve gotten QO for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
