Questions about famous people from Maugerville
Who is the most famous person from Maugerville?
Henry Emmerson (Canadian politician) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come Ernest Perley and James Quinton.
How many famous people were born in Maugerville?
Wikidata places 5 here in all, and those missing from the list lack a confirming article.
What is Maugerville known for?
That is 100% of the town’s list, against 22% across Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Maugerville?
The earliest is James Quinton, born in 1821, and the latest birth listed is 1877.
Who counts as from Maugerville?
Wikidata’s record must put the birth inside Maugerville’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision) or one of its hospitals or districts, and an English or French Wikipedia article must agree. The list leaves out adult performers, people known mainly for crimes and anyone born elsewhere.
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.
