Pretty much everyone you listed is a genius in one way. Even Dave and Dan. They may be total morons when it comes to writing original material, but they're geniuses when it comes to adapting source material. GoT seasons 1-4 were peak television, and their adaptation of The Three Body Problem trilogy has been really good so far (one of the best sci fi shows in a while).

Hawking, Einstein, Ramanujan, Marie Curie, Shakespeare, John Lennon, Newton, Oppenheimer

 This reminds me of the nonsense 'Gustavo Cerati is a genius'that it's a bit popular in some LATAM circles.

[Battista Minola 1616]

I am not sure but I know that Ramanujan goes at the top of the list.

In order to judge over who is a genius or not, you have to be a genius yourself, because only than and only than you are able to understand what their work was about and what it meant for the world.

At this point, the poll is just hearsay and ppl voting for scientists on who is a genius or not.

It also depends on how you define geniosity, a lot of those are geniuses within their respective fields they are known for.
