As in a "predictions for the year" thread ( which I seem to remember starting but it fell into the abyss)

Gordon Moore, Intel Co-Founder, Dies at 94
He famously forecast in 1965 that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every year – a prediction that came to be known as Moore’s Law.

Paul O'Grady: TV presenter and comedian, dies aged 67

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65108130

A lot of respect for his love and caring for animals.

I can't find an entry in the guide about Paul O'Grady.I am surprised.

Paul O'Grady as an entertainer and campaigner for both LGBTQ+ and animal rights is certainly someone who would be a worthy topic for the Guide. I'd say that if you think something should be in the Guide, never wait for someone else to write about it as no-one will, but write it yourself. (I'm definitely not the right person to write about Paul O'Grady).

It's hard to knw whether there might have been a new guide entry on someone in the last two years. if there was, it has vanished.

The site hasn't restored itself, but it appears to be stable, so I'll rebuild the Deathlist pages over the next few days.


Of the recent missed deaths:

Paul O'Grady was picked by Galaxy Babe in 2007 & 2008.

Bernard Ingham was picked by KB in 2009.

Gordon Moore was picked by Croz from 2008 to 2010.

Dickie Davies was picked by The Groob in 2013.

Betty Boothroyd was picked by The Groob in 2022.

Right, we have restored Deathlist pages - links below. Please use the official/not-on-the-list threads for posting new celebrity deaths, going forward:
