Who is the most famous person from Saint-Georges?
Maxime Bernier (Canadian lawyer and politician) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come Tammara Thibeault and Jesse Bélanger.
How many famous people were born in Saint-Georges?
Wikidata counts 46 born here, but only those an article confirms are listed.
What is Saint-Georges known for?
31% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 38%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Saint-Georges?
François-Xavier Dulac (1841). At the other end, the youngest was born in 1999.
Who counts as from Saint-Georges?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside Saint-Georges’ 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?
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.
