Questions about famous people from Virginia Park
Who counts as from Virginia Park?
Two sources must agree: Wikidata, placing the birth inside Virginia Park’s neighbourhood outline (the census tracts it is drawn from) or one of its hospitals or districts, and the person’s English or French Wikipedia article. Moving here later is not enough, and adult performers and people known chiefly for crimes are not listed. In a city split into neighbourhoods (Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa and the others), someone recorded as born only “in the city” stays on the city’s own page; a neighbourhood lists only births recorded in it.
Why is someone missing?
Some have no birthplace below the province on Wikidata, some were born in a hamlet without a page here, and some have an article that names another place or none at all. The page lists only what Wikidata and Wikipedia agree on, and it follows their corrections at each 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.
