Questions about famous people from Point Road
Who counts as from Point Road?
Born inside Point Road’s neighbourhood outline (the census tracts it is drawn from) on Wikidata’s record, with an English or French Wikipedia article to back it up: that is the test, hospitals and districts within the outline included. Someone who just lived here does not pass it, and adult performers and people known mainly for crimes are excluded. Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa and the other split cities keep a birth recorded only as the city on the city’s own page, while each neighbourhood lists just the 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.
