Questions about famous people from Keremeos
Who is the most famous person from Keremeos?
Frank Richter, Jr. (Canadian politician) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them.
How many famous people were born in Keremeos?
Count on the list: 1, each born in Keremeos according to Wikidata and an English or French Wikipedia article.
What is Keremeos known for?
Among its famous people, leaders: 1 of the 1. 100% here, set against 22% for Canadian towns.
Who counts as from Keremeos?
What counts is a birth that Wikidata places inside Keremeos’ municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), its hospitals and districts too, and that the person’s English or French Wikipedia article repeats. Adult performers, people known chiefly for crimes and those who only lived here are not on the list.
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.
