503 are placed here on Wikidata; the rest have no article to confirm it.

57% here, set against 38% for Canadian towns.

The earliest is Joe Rooney, born in 1898, and the latest birth listed is 2006.

Wikidata has to place the birth inside Saskatoon’s city limits (the city’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. A neighbourhood page lists only births recorded in that neighbourhood; someone recorded as born just “in Toronto”, “in Montréal” or another split city stays on the city’s page.

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.
