Questions about famous people from Nominingue
Who is the most famous person from Nominingue?
Denis Rodier (Canadian comics artist) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Gérard Delage and Georges Lalande.
How many famous people were born in Nominingue?
Wikidata places 6 here in all; the others lack an article that agrees.
What is Nominingue known for?
33% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 10%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Nominingue?
Gérard Delage, from 1912; the most recent birth on the list is from 1963.
Who counts as from Nominingue?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside Nominingue’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?
Their Wikidata record may stop at the province, point to a rural area we have no page for, or name a different town, and their article may disagree or say nothing. Only a birthplace both sources share is listed; edits to either are picked up 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.
