Questions about famous people from Côte-Saint-Luc
Who is the most famous person from Côte-Saint-Luc?
Cy Strulovitch (Canadian basketball player) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Barry Blitt.
How many famous people were born in Côte-Saint-Luc?
Of the 3 Wikidata puts here, the rest have no English or French article that confirms it.
What is Côte-Saint-Luc known for?
That is 50% of the town’s list, against 38% across Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Côte-Saint-Luc?
Cy Strulovitch, born in 1925. The youngest on the list was born in 1958.
Who counts as from Côte-Saint-Luc?
The list takes people born within Côte-Saint-Luc’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?
Some have no birthplace below the province on Wikidata, some were born in a hamlet without a page here, and some have an article that names another place or none at all. The page lists only what Wikidata and Wikipedia agree on, and it follows their corrections at each 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.
