Who is the most famous person from Mirabel?
Paul Sauvé (Canadian politician) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Rachel Laurin and Arthur Sauvé.
How many famous people were born in Mirabel?
Wikidata places 52 here in all, and those missing from the list lack a confirming article.
What is Mirabel known for?
74% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 22%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Mirabel?
Luc-Hyacinthe Masson (1811). At the other end, the youngest was born in 1977.
Who counts as from Mirabel?
What counts is a birth that Wikidata places inside Mirabel’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’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?
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.
