Questions about famous people from Port Mann

Who is the most famous person from Port Mann?

The top name is Samuel Maclure (Canadian architect), going by Wikipedia coverage.

How many famous people were born in Port Mann?

Count on the list: 1, each born in Port Mann according to Wikidata and an English or French Wikipedia article.

What is Port Mann known for?

Among its famous people, writers and artists: 1 of the 1. 100% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 12%.

Who counts as from Port Mann?

What counts is a birth that Wikidata places inside Port Mann’s neighbourhood outline (the census tracts it is drawn from), 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. 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?

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.
