People can be icons apparently. Why not?
We felt there might be a problem here because of how celebrity status can muddle things. Any ICONS list would be likely to be unfairly dominated by those in favour or fashionable right now. Their elevation to iconic status could not have stood the test of time. For those who are no longer alive and whose iconic status is assured, we will consider the things that made them famous or noteworthy. So the list will not include Shakespeare himself, but does include the First Folio of Shakespeare.
