think it was original research. It's quite likely that the list is
copyrighted, however, since it is not a factually based list. The
argument then becomes whether quoting that list in Wikipedia is
permissible fair use (or the more restrictive UK equivalent, if you're
located there).
It seems analogous to listing the recipients of other awards, which
we've done quite freely throughout Wikipedia. If listing award
recipients violates the copyright of the award-givers in an
impermissible way this could have some rather drastic effects on other
articles.
