Questions about famous people from Stony Mountain
Who is the most famous person from Stony Mountain?
Babe Pratt (Canadian ice hockey player) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come George Ernest Dragan and Moylan McDonnell.
How many famous people were born in Stony Mountain?
Wikidata has 5 born here; the ones not shown have no article that agrees, or none at all.
What is Stony Mountain known for?
50% here, set against 38% for Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Stony Mountain?
The earliest is Moylan McDonnell, born in 1889, and the latest birth listed is 1916.
Who counts as from Stony Mountain?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside Stony Mountain’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), counting its hospitals and districts, and an English or French Wikipedia article has to say the same. Adult performers, people known mostly for crimes and anyone who only lived here stay off the list.
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.
