Revision as of 12:37, 5 March 2020

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:

People from Ottawa

(Yeah, we'll need a page for Ottawa to put this on. Under the Umbrella Tree was set in Ottawa. See w:Category:Ottawa in fiction for more works. OSFS might be able to provide a list of F&SF works set in Ottawa - query email sent on Nov 11, 2019. Ottawa Independent Writers might be able to help with more mainstream works set in Ottawa. GoodReads has a list. This list is ready to go.)

Some famous Ottawans

Wikipedia has a larger list of people from Ottawa.

People from Toronto

The list of some famous Torontonians is now on the Toronto page.

People from Montreal

Needs winnowing... but don't delete any bluelinks!

At this point, I had to switch tasks, so... no content below this line, just some headers.

People from Vancouver

People from Halifax

Do we want a page for Halifax?

Works set there include Theodore Tugboat, a bunch of works set against the backdrop of the Halifax Explosion, and ... according to DuckDuckGo, nothing else. Wikipedia doesn't have a list. Trailer Park Boys is set in Dartmouth, just across the Narrows. The Surgeon's Mate, the seventh of the Aubrey-Maturin books, starts in Halifax.

On the other hand, "Halagonian" is a fun word to say...

Some famous Halagonians

Wikipedia has a larger list of people from Halifax.
