JohnnieH;293477 wroteMilo, did you even read this list? The bolded people don't qualify given the guidelines we've agreed to.
Yes, I read the list, and the explanations he provided for the names.
Hellmuth's Mole;293479 wroteI guess the question is whether they qualify as celebrity or famous. I could have picked my 96 year old great uncle but I don't think it's within the spirit of the rules.
Does your great uncle have some sort of notoriety?
Eleanor Jean Park is from The Sound of Music, according to the submitted list. The other bolded names all have some sort of notoriety attached to them, be it world's oldest person, final Holocaust survivor, etc. All of those things would fall quite comfortably under the umbrella of "miscellaneous". Johnnie, you submitted two names (not on your final roster) whose notoriety comes from the mini-series Band of Brothers. They are not famous in and of themselves, their story is. should they have been disqualified?
The rookie came up with a sound strategy . . . and has a winner already. The rosters stand. If the majority feel strongly enough about it, i will step asied, and someone else can take over.
