What qualifies as a notable recent death in this overview

We define recent here as within roughly the past decade, with enough time for reliable biographies, obituaries, and authoritative reports to be available.

Primary sources include reputable news organizations, obituaries from established outlets, official statements from studios or unions, and public death records where available.
