User:Robkelk/sandbox/Famous Canadians by city

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.

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.
