The Persons of the Decade thread, and related threads, may be useful sources for people.
I'd also suggest though that the list is far too long and contains far too many politicians.
Thanks for the link, even though I don't find different names.
The bias is voluntarily political.
The huge number is due to a will to take people from most countries of the world and so, to give place for more minor figures in big countries.
If you didn't find any new names, then you didn't look too hard.
Anyway, I think if you want a list of politicians with some tokenist others it shouldn't be called a list of "history makers".
No sign of Crick, Watson or Franklin - whose work revolutionised biology and opens up possibilities quite possibly beyond our imagination.
Nor any sign of anyone involved in the communications revolution. Baird and Berners-Lee developed systems that changed the way we take in and interact with the world.
The work of Fleming, Borlaug and many others saved more lives than most people on your list ever effected in any sense.
No Fermi, Bohr, Planck or Feynmann. No Edison, neither Wright brother. No Lennon or McCartney, no Elvis. No Chaplin, no Welles. No Joyce, no Orwell.
History is more than politicians.
