Questions about famous people from Longueuil
Who is the most famous person from Longueuil?
The top name is Nathan Saliba (Canadian soccer player), going by Wikipedia coverage. Next come Anthony Mantha and Marilou.
How many famous people were born in Longueuil?
147 are placed here on Wikidata; the rest have no article to confirm it.
What is Longueuil known for?
40% here, set against 38% for Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Longueuil?
Charles III Le Moyne, born in 1687. The youngest on the list was born in 2004.
Who counts as from Longueuil?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside Longueuil’s city limits (the city’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. Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa and the other split cities keep a birth recorded only as the city on the city’s own page, while each neighbourhood lists just the births recorded in it.
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.
