Elsinore has yet to put a famous person on the list
Edmonton has the most of any town in Alberta: 1,033. After Edmonton, the next longest list in Alberta is Calgary’s, with 1,028. Famous people are on record for 154 of the towns in Alberta.
Who’s listed here
To appear on this page, a person needs a Wikidata birthplace inside Elsinore’s neighbourhood outline and an English or French Wikipedia article that says the same. So far Wikidata records nobody born in Elsinore who has an English or French Wikipedia article.
Questions about famous people from Elsinore
Who counts as from Elsinore?
Wikidata’s record must put the birth inside Elsinore’s neighbourhood outline (the census tracts it is drawn from) or one of its hospitals or districts, and an English or French Wikipedia article must agree. The list leaves out adult performers, people known mainly for crimes and anyone born elsewhere. Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa and the other split cities keep a birth recorded only as the city on the city’s own page, while each neighbourhood lists just the births recorded in it.
Why is someone missing?
Wikidata may give their birthplace only as Canada or a province, as a rural area or hamlet without a page here, or as another town; or their article may name a different place, or none. Only people both sources agree on are listed, and a fix on Wikidata or Wikipedia shows up here at the next refresh.
Birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations and the count of Wikipedia and sister-site articles come from Wikidata (CC0). Each birthplace is checked against the person’s English Wikipedia article, or the French one where English says nothing or has no article; the articles are linked, never quoted. Wikidata’s Statistics Canada code, the place’s name or its point inside the 2021 census outline puts a birth in a town, and a birth given only as a split city stays on that city’s page. Fields are read from the description and occupations, and the list runs by number of articles. “The usual town” is everyone listed across Canadian towns.
