Makes sense
One of the steps I use in assembling my list is skimming through the current year’s entries (and DDP’s popular picks) to see if there’s someone I want to add to mine.
Doing that this time around led me to think up a new query that rounded out my picks.
Yep that’s ok. As long as I can find the date of death. And yes if the band is on Wikipedia that is ok
I just need a link.
Yes, thanks for clarifying. I don’t have too much time for the updates so a link and correct spelling of the name help a lot.
For this year though, Tim Bilton doesn’t have a Wikipedia page and I have no way to verify so @Hotkarl I am disqualifying Mr. Bilton for 2022, sorry.
You have no way to verify what ? If he dies ? Would having a Wikipedia page solve this issue ?
I don’t want to have to search the internet for a non-conforming pick to see if he/she died. I have no idea if your pick is alive or dead since I saw something in May saying he is alive. I don’t have much spare time to spend searching. If you make a Wikipedia page, that will solve the problem. Just looking for some help here.
I made my submission. I decided not to submit any that didn’t already have a wikipedia page
Whilst searching for info to create a Wikipedia page for Tim Bilton, I found this:
There doesn’t seem to be anything beyond other sketchy news sources reporting. There was a tweet from his account 5 hours ago
If anyone has Desmond Tutu, is there time to update the list?
I had him on my finalists, but he did not make my submitted 2022 list.
The deadline is tonight, so yes. You can also submit alternates.
Clarification: As I understand the rules, Shannen Doherty is newly ineligible as a “tragic pick” this year as she is now 50 years old. Is that right?
I submitted picks assuming so, but thought I’d clarify…
Absolutely a reminder to submit alternates. If a player hadn’t, and Tutu died tomorrow as one of their picks, they would have an empty spot at the end of their list.
Well if that is the case for sure he doesn’t count for 2022!

Tragedy picks seemed way more difficult than years past. GL Everyone!

If he dead, he dead.
Good Day Death Poolers! It’s a glorious day, time to reveal the celebrities that have been picked. I am geeked up about this years competition! We have 10 players this year! For the your statistical pleasure and to help with our Derby Dead Pool entry, here is what I have so far. I have not included alternates. I need some ‘disambiguation’ over a couple of picks. Is Casey DeSantis known for more than being her Gov DeSantis’ wife? And which Marsha Hunt, the one the Rolling Stones sang about or the one born in 1917? Anyway, here they are!

she hosted Golf Channel programs On The Tee and PGA Tour Today . She was also a local newscaster and anchor for WJXT and held several positions, including general assignment reporter, morning anchor, and police reporter.[7] She also did special reports, including for CNN
Expanding on the topic in general - I assume 1st Lady of the US would be eligible.
So for Governors, is that position alone enough?
1st lady of the US would NOT be eligible, unless it was something done in her own right to be a celebrity, like host television programs.
Tim Keller and Timothy J. Keller are the same person, I assume.
Kim Jong Un also appears twice (once without a “-”)
George Perez also appears twice.
