Who is the most famous person from Beloeil?
Louis-Philippe Brodeur (Canadian Supreme Court justice and politician) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come Jacob Lagacé and Serge Dupire.
How many famous people were born in Beloeil?
Wikidata places 25 here in all, and those missing from the list lack a confirming article.
What is Beloeil known for?
40% here, set against 22% for Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Beloeil?
Alexandre Dufresne, from 1818; the most recent birth on the list is from 2001.
Who counts as from Beloeil?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside Beloeil’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.
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.
