Questions about famous people from Lloydminster (Part)

Who is the most famous person from Lloydminster (Part)?

Braden Holtby (Canadian ice hockey goaltender) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come Wade Redden and Colby Armstrong.

How many famous people were born in Lloydminster (Part)?

Wikidata places 38 here in all, and those missing from the list lack a confirming article.

What is Lloydminster (Part) known for?

73% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 38%.

Who is the earliest-born famous person from Lloydminster (Part)?

The earliest is Samuel Delbert Clark, born in 1910, and the latest birth listed is 2000.

Who counts as from Lloydminster (Part)?

Anyone Wikidata records as born at a place inside Lloydminster (Part)’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), hospitals and districts within it included, whose English or French Wikipedia article confirms it. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes are left out. Lloydminster straddles the border with Saskatchewan, and Wikidata records a birth there as the one city, never by side: this list is the whole city’s, and the Alberta and Saskatchewan parts’ pages show the same people.

Why is someone missing?

The likeliest reasons: a birthplace recorded only as a province or as Canada, a hamlet or rural area with no page of its own, or an article that gives another place or none. Fixing Wikidata or Wikipedia brings them onto the list at the next refresh, as long as the two then agree.

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.
