Wikidata has to place the birth inside Shippagan’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. Shippagan is also the name of another municipality in New Brunswick: for everyone listed here, Wikipedia gives only “Shippagan”, so the other place can’t be ruled out.

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.
