Maybe I'm ignorant of how this works, but some of those people are a) not notable, or b) only notable because they died from covid-19. What is this list?

- aarroyoc 7y agoI think to be in the list you need to have a Wikipedia page before your death, but some of them may not be in the English edition as I've checked
- justinclift 7y agoYeah, many of them seem to have no Wikipedia page in any language. Seems weird.
- est31 7y agoOriginally I submitted it as "Coronavirus deaths of Wikipedia notable" people but changed it to Wikidata because it uses a different notability hurdle. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Notability https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Notability There is also a list that only contains people with a page present on english Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_due_to_coronavirus_disease_2019 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_due_to_coronavi... I haven't submitted that list because a) I felt the Wikidata list was more extensive and thus hopefully more updated (actually it's created automatically) and b) Wikidata had pictures. Of course some people will become notable becautse of their death. I was mainly interested in the question as I read about Conway and wondered how many people like him with tremendous achievements have already died of Corona or will die. Also, studying biographies gives a different view than only studying the numbers.
