FixedBusiness 407 Posted December 29, 2018 Last year, I only had one name rejected: Jackie Stallone. Fair nuff, as I guess she's pretty far on the side of being Fringes of Fame. I was going to put Steffan Lewis this year but thought against it since his Wiki article is a stub, and I usually try to put people with enough info on their Wiki (atleast) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,119 Posted December 29, 2018 Just now, theoldlady said: 1 rejected because he died today: Simon Ricketts My replacement was accepted. Ricketts would’ve been rejected regardless of whether he lived or die, so you would’ve done a replacement anyways... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,119 Posted December 30, 2018 I overall am planning on staying mum for alt Obits next year. However, I can confirm that I did have Hector Timerman on my alt Obits team, and as such will need to replace him now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alt obits guy 3,091 Posted December 30, 2018 Revision of my announcement on rejected picks. Due to confusion over one selection - given there were two gentlemen who might've fit the description - one previously rejected pick has, upon clarification, been accepted. Therefore, I had 13 rejected picks, along with two disallowed substitute picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can wait until January 1st, I'll name the rejected picks for whom I had to select replacements. It'll give you an idea of the threshold of fame required for a pick to qualify.

I can see why I guess. Maybe Bayh but really who is she other than a celeb's wife. None of these are Miss United Kingdom (Kerri Parker), and she got the ax. Along with Pat Boone's wife Shirley (herself an actress, but hey); Simon Ricketts, and Rep. Jean Price. And Lloyd Klein. Those were my below the line names.
