Anyone who would like to start a 2025 thread is welcome to do so.

I've started one. Please feel free to add your lists or not. If there are a lot of nots the thread will die but can't be nominated as it is less than eighteen years old.
I've just realised (because I was thinking about possibilities for 2025) that I missed seeing one more on my 2024 list who died...Seiji Ozawa died back in Feb aged 88. So that was four I got this time...
I make my score to have been:
Seiji Ozawa (88) - 12 points
Alexy Navalny (47) - 53 points
Dame Maggie Smith (89) - 11 points
Yahya Sinwar (62) - 38 points
So 114 points in total

Rather a lot did. Apart from yourself, it looks like @Ariel , @jedijudy , @Telford , and @Stercus Tauri all had him listed.

Whitey Herzog--8 points
Willie Mays--7 points
So a total of 15.
I had listed Minnie Mendoza as an alternate selection, but he never got to the "active" list. He died in 2024 and would have been worth 11 points.
