This is a '''list of living people''' of significant historical importance, influence within their discipline, and popular notability. In connection with an on-going [[WP:ITN/DC|debate]] about the [[WP:ITNMP|criteria]] for inclusion on the [[WP:ITN|ITN main-page portal]], [[WP:ITN/DC#Proposed_changes|it is proposed]] that the death of a member of this list would warrant inclusion.

Criteria for inclusion include several of the following:
* Popular notability beyond the boundaries of their field or discipline
* Enduring notability beyond a generation or popular era
* Noted for a body of work that singularly altered their field or discipline
* Holding a prominent and powerful office for an unusual length of time
* Winning major awards in their field or discipline (Nobel, Oscar, Grammy, Pulitzer{{clarify}}, Olympic medal, MVP (Most Valuable Player), etc.)
* Holding several records in their field or discipline
* Induction into a professional Hall of Fame, inclusion on a major Top ''n'' List
