How many living siblings?

This recent change [1] adds a new source to the statement that Dolly has eight living siblings. Two problems here. First, the source doesn't say that. Second, the source does say that one of her brothers died in 2021. If that's the case, shouldn't there now be seven living siblings? Personally I would just remove the whole thing, I don't think we need to keep a running count of survivors. GA-RT-22 (talk) 14:55, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with removal of that sentence. Schazjmd (talk) 14:51, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Philanthropy as a separate topic

I feel like considering the significance of Parton's philanthropy it shouldn't be a separate topic rather than incorporated into her personal life. Muddyviolet (talk) 03:06, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
