Guillaume de Saint-Pathus (Franciscan friar, royal confessor and writer) is the best known by our measure: 3 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages.
1 people born in Saint-Pathus have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one).
Among its famous people, clergy and people of faith: 1 of the 1. That is 100% of the town’s list, against 3% across French towns.
People whose Wikidata birthplace is Saint-Pathus 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.
From Wikidata (CC0: birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations, how many Wikipedia and sister-site articles cover each person) and French and English Wikipedia (each person’s articles confirm the birthplace; linked, not quoted). Birthplaces are matched to the commune by INSEE code and its history of mergers (INSEE COG 2026). Ranked by the number of articles. Fields are read from Wikidata’s description and occupations. “The usual town”: everyone listed across French towns.
