 * Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid dead celebrities ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) Someone started an AfD for this article over copyvio concerns (the article just includes the full lists). I'm not too familiar with copyright/licensing things, so can someone have a look at this? Ahiijny (talk) 17:46, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This list appears to be composed of rankings based on some factual earnings value, and not some arbitrary ranking system. Therefore there is no creative content in how the list was compiled, and thus no copyright problem. The Sweat of the brow doctrine, wherein the compiler of the list gains some rights due to the effort they put into compiling it, does not apply in US copyright law, which WP operates under.
