It's an interesting idea, but it should not be implemented.
We all lose people of value: Terry Pratchett, Aaron Schwartz, Robin Williams, etc. The worth of such individuals is rarely objective and is mostly subjective, but sometimes on a large scale.
Were we to memorialize everyone of value to someone somewhere in such a manner, the weight of the headers could easily outweigh the value of the information we're trying to access.
Yes, it is proposed for one person only. Next week, it might be one more. The week after, a few more. And so on. Turtles all the way down.
Just because we can do a thing, doesn't mean we should.
