Questions about famous people from The Pas
Who is the most famous person from The Pas?
Curt Giles (Canadian ice hockey player) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come Gerard Kennedy and Glen Gulutzan.
How many famous people were born in The Pas?
Wikidata places 15 here in all, and those missing from the list lack a confirming article.
What is The Pas known for?
They make up 45% here, compared with 38% across Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from The Pas?
The earliest is Albert Campbell, born in 1894, and the latest birth listed is 1976.
Who counts as from The Pas?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside The Pas’ 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?
Some have no birthplace below the province on Wikidata, some were born in a hamlet without a page here, and some have an article that names another place or none at all. The page lists only what Wikidata and Wikipedia agree on, and it follows their corrections at each 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.
