Questions about famous people from Terrace
Who is the most famous person from Terrace?
Jason Haldane (British volleyball player) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come Wade Flaherty and Bradley Mills.
How many famous people were born in Terrace?
Wikidata counts 26 born here, but only those an article confirms are listed.
What is Terrace known for?
Across Canadian towns the figure is 38%; here, 67%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Terrace?
Dudley George Little, from 1914; the most recent birth on the list is from 2003.
Who counts as from Terrace?
A birth counts when Wikidata puts it inside Terrace’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), a hospital or district there included, and the person’s English or French Wikipedia article agrees. Those who only moved here are not on the list, and neither are adult performers or people famous mainly for crimes.
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.
