Who is the most famous person from Sainte-Marthe?
Alcide Laurin (Canadian ice hockey player) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Charles Langlois and Luce Dupuis.
How many famous people were born in Sainte-Marthe?
Wikidata places 10 here in all; the others lack an article that agrees.
What is Sainte-Marthe known for?
80% here, set against 22% for Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Sainte-Marthe?
Émery Lalonde, Jr., born in 1851. The youngest on the list was born in 1940.
Who counts as from Sainte-Marthe?
Born inside Sainte-Marthe’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision) on Wikidata’s record, with an English or French Wikipedia article to back it up: that is the test, hospitals and districts within the outline included. Someone who just lived here does not pass it, and adult performers and people known mainly for crimes are excluded.
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.
