Leaders stand out among the 9 famous people born in Bapaume

Hélène Flautre (French politician and MEP) is the best known by our measure: 10 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Jean-Paul Delevoye and Abel Guidet.

9 people born in Bapaume have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 18 people here; the rest aren’t listed because an article names somewhere else or no town, or a check couldn’t be completed.

Among its famous people, leaders: 7 of the 9. That is 78% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Ignace Joseph Delfin Haudouart, born in 1753. The youngest on the list was born in 1970.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Bapaume itself, matched by its INSEE code (a commune merged into it counts when the dates allow), whose French Wikipedia article agrees, and their English article too when they have one. A hospital or neighbourhood recorded without its commune isn’t matched. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a hospital, a neighbourhood or a wider area, another commune, or missing, or their articles may not name a birthplace. We only list people the sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
