Questions about famous people from Maliotenam
Who is the most famous person from Maliotenam?
Shauit (Canadian singer-songwriter and composer who sings in French, English and his native Innu language) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Philippe McKenzie.
What is Maliotenam known for?
50% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 6%.
Who counts as from Maliotenam?
What counts is a birth that Wikidata places inside Maliotenam’s reserve lands (the reserve’s 2021 census subdivision), its hospitals and districts too, and that the person’s English or French Wikipedia article repeats. Adult performers, people known chiefly for crimes and those who only lived here are not on the list.
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.
