Agreed.  Any of these "Best of" or "Most famous" lists are bound to be 
subjective.  Be that as it may, (and even though I generally favour 
consensus to voting for Wikipedia policy) this is one place where voting 
could be helpful.  Mostly because the outcome doesn't really matter.  If 
each registered Wikipedian could cast some kind of weighted or 
preferential vote for names on a candidate list of indefinite length, 
and votes could be tallied automatically as they're cast the software 
could then determine the top 10 (or 50 or 100 ...) that it would put on 
the list.  Of course, this all assumes technical feasibility.
