There's 2087 entries on Wikidata for people who died in 1945 and have
an occupation which is some kind of 'creator' (though due to a quirk
of the Wikidata hierarchy, that seems to include scientists +
engineers)

For authors + subclasses thereof it's a more manageable 636:

No major British names leap out from a quick skim through.

Hi all,
Last year there was 2015 in public domain and now we have 2016 in public
domain . . . but it only has one entry.
I would be interested to know if anyone else is interested in working on
this and perhaps organising something for Public Domain Day, or perhaps an
event later in January when people have recovered from the holiday.
Personally I am particularly interested in the work of the encyclopedist
Otto Neurath.
all the best
