Latest revision as of 02:31, 27 January 2022

Starting with the Wikipedia lists linked at the start of each city's list, with the scientists, sports stars, military men, and politicians removed.

Now what?

  • Leave the redlinks and count on Wiki Magic to fill in the gaps? C'mon, these are Canadians; almost nobody outside Canada has heard of most of them, and almost nobody in Canada cares.
  • Delete the redlinks? A lot of these people should have pages here, though.

If we need to make pages for cities, see w:Category:Canada in fiction by city for starting lists of works set in Canadian cities.

Headers for the "Some famous cityites" sections:
