A few of you have been asking me this. The core standards are as follows:
1. Most notable figures in economics. MR has many economist readers, and these deaths are not usually well-publicized by mainstream media.
2. A cultural figure I feel more of you should know about. Various figures from say African music or foreign cinema might be examples here.
3. A person who, if even at a distance, has played some special role in my life.
Someone who would not get a mention would be, for instance, a leading footballer. I figure any of you who care already will be hearing about the death.
I also discriminate against suicides, as I consider suicide both a sin and as having (in most cases) high negative externalities on others. I am not so inclined to honor or glorify those who have killed themselves.
