Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Summer of Death
The topic is notable and notability does not expire.  For example, TIME magazine highlighted the phenomenon in its http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1945379_1944799_1944816,00.html summary of 2009, saying "It was a busy summer for obit writers around the country ... the summer when baby boomers began to turn to the obituary pages first, to face not merely their own mortality or ponder their legacies, but to witness the passing of legends who defined them as a tribe".  And here's coverage of the phenomenon years later in a https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=B0csBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA150 book, which demonstrates the enduring nature of the topic.  The naysayers above do not support their opinion with such sources or evidence.  Those are just |personal opinions
