Questions about famous people from Tyendinaga
Who is the most famous person from Tyendinaga?
Samuel Barton Burdett (Canadian politician) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come James Ferguson Hill and Nathaniel Stephen Appleby.
What is Tyendinaga known for?
That is 100% of the town’s list, against 22% across Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Tyendinaga?
Nathaniel Stephen Appleby (1820). At the other end, the youngest was born in 1871.
Who counts as from Tyendinaga?
The list takes people born within Tyendinaga’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.
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.
