Questions about famous people from Saint-Quentin
Who is the most famous person from Saint-Quentin?
The top name is Lionel Gendron (Canadian Catholic prelate), going by Wikipedia coverage. Next come Bernard Valcourt and Jason Roy Léveillée.
How many famous people were born in Saint-Quentin?
Wikidata places 11 here in all; the others lack an article that agrees.
What is Saint-Quentin known for?
That is 43% of the town’s list, against 22% across Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Saint-Quentin?
The earliest is Patrick Guérette, born in 1905, and the latest birth listed is 1983.
Who counts as from Saint-Quentin?
The list takes people born within Saint-Quentin’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), its hospitals and districts too, as Wikidata records it and an English or French Wikipedia article confirms. It leaves out residents born elsewhere, adult performers and people chiefly known for crimes. Saint-Quentin is also the name of another municipality in New Brunswick: for everyone listed here, Wikipedia gives only “Saint-Quentin”, so the other place can’t be ruled out.
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.
