Who is the most famous person from Saint-Frédéric?
Louis-Albert Vachon (Canadian Catholic cardinal) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them.
How many famous people were born in Saint-Frédéric?
The list holds 1 born in Saint-Frédéric, each confirmed by an English or French Wikipedia article. 2 are placed here on Wikidata; the rest have no article to confirm it.
What is Saint-Frédéric known for?
Of the 1 on the list, 1 are clergy and people of faith. That is 100% of the town’s list, against 1% across Canadian towns.
Who counts as from Saint-Frédéric?
Two sources must agree: Wikidata, placing the birth inside Saint-Frédéric’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision) or one of its hospitals or districts, and the person’s English or French Wikipedia article. Moving here later is not enough, and adult performers and people known chiefly for crimes are not listed.
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.
