User:Robkelk/sandbox/Famous Canadians by city

Let's get what I have onto the wiki in around the end-of-month 503s...

Starting with the lists linked at the start of each city's list, with the scientists, sports stars, 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.

Pulled many redlinks off the lists, left a few on. I think this is a good compromise. And the bluelinks stayed on the lists.

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.

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. 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.)
