Please no. It would be impossible to decide the cutoff for who deserves it. Loud communities would bring drama when their favourite person doesn't get pinned. A black strip might be fine, though.

i think the comment is saying that "if there's a black strip, we should pin the article/news that justified it"

because there's currently a black strip up but there's no articles about a death on the first page

In this case, I had to search for the word died/dead/"no more" to even know who is no more.
