Talk:Solomon Burke

Sentence structure/number of children issue
I know this sentence at the beginning of the Personal Life section is problematic and slightly senseless: "In total Burke fathered at least 14 children (9 daughters and 5 sons), including at least two fathered outside any of his marriages, including Melvia Burke and Elijah Mohammed Burke, Vickey Burke." I just don't know how to fix it. The two "including" phrases are confusing. Presumably Melvia, Elijah, and Vickey are included in the "at least two", but if so it's at least three... and I don't know if that's factually correct. Any help fixing this?

Reviewing my watchlist, it's sad to find that this hasn't been addressed at all in 4 years. I am starting the process of cleaning up the section describing his children and marriages. I will check the talk page before each session of reviewing sources and making edits. I have my doubts that the names and birthdates of all his children are notable to his status as a public figure, but I'll be willing to retain those details that are present in reliable sources about Solomon Burke.
