Wikidata places 5 here in all, and those missing from the list lack a confirming article.
What is Saint-Mathieu known for?
Across Canadian towns the figure is 22%; here, 50%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Saint-Mathieu?
The earliest is Joseph-Jacques Robert, born in 1780, and the latest birth listed is 1841.
Who counts as from Saint-Mathieu?
Two sources must agree: Wikidata, placing the birth inside Saint-Mathieu’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?
Often Wikidata names only Canada or a province as the birthplace, or a rural area, a hamlet or another town; sometimes the Wikipedia article names somewhere else, or nowhere. A person appears here once both agree, so a correction on either site reaches this page 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.
