Questions about famous people from Témiscaming
Who is the most famous person from Témiscaming?
André Savard (Canadian ice hockey player and coach) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Richard Lemieux and Casey Jones.
How many famous people were born in Témiscaming?
Of the 6 Wikidata puts here, the rest have no English or French article that confirms it.
What is Témiscaming known for?
They make up 100% here, compared with 38% across Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Témiscaming?
Richard Lemieux, born in 1951. The youngest on the list was born in 1968.
Who counts as from Témiscaming?
Born inside Témiscaming’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?
The likeliest reasons: a birthplace recorded only as a province or as Canada, a hamlet or rural area with no page of its own, or an article that gives another place or none. Fixing Wikidata or Wikipedia brings them onto the list at the next refresh, as long as the two then agree.
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.
