I removed the content because it was not correct. She is not the second to last of 5 children (the link that was cited states that she is the youngest of seven) and she is. She has said stated on countless occasions that she is the baby of her family but for some reason, her wiki stated otherwise, listing her as second to last. Tina's mother had seven children, 5 of which belonged to Tina's father, her second husband, and Tina was the last child born. Maybe the article can be amended to explain this. 2600:1702:2A40:3E40:9C0D:D92E:B51D:6702 (talk) 17:29, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * See https://www.instagram.com/p/B_aqEJ7jMHc/ for her words on the subject. She indicates she has a younger brother. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:51, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

It doesn't. Saying my "brother and me" doesn't say anything about the birthing order. Solange could say "my sister and me" but that doesn't make Bey younger. Tina has mentioned in other instagram posts and interviews that she is the baby of the family.2600:1702:2A40:3E40:9C0D:D92E:B51D:6702 (talk) 18:51, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * She said "me and my youngest brother". Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:54, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Youngest brother, not youngest child period. She has sisters too. If I find an interview where she calls herself the youngest will you consider my pov?2600:1702:2A40:3E40:9C0D:D92E:B51D:6702 (talk) 18:56, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Something where she directly states that would be sufficient if from a reliable source which includes verified social media accounts controlled by her. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:58, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Not sure if this would be considered a reliable source but this is from when she and B appeared on the UH campus in 2011. http://thedailycougar.com/2011/10/04/knowles-family-graces-campus/

She refers to herself as the baby here in a post with her half sister Selena: https://www.instagram.com/p/BiQK0f1B9B3/

She doesn't call Selena her half sister in the post but it was mentioned in Selena's obituary that she has a different father and last name: https://www.galvnews.com/obituaries/article_02b46d08-36b2-5def-98d2-0e67d801aaa4.html

And then there's this from Beyonce.com that refers to her as the youngest of 7 (we can trust B right): https://www.beyonce.com/women-making-history-tina-knowles-lawson/ 2600:1702:2A40:3E40:9C0D:D92E:B51D:6702 (talk) 19:42, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The existing article from the NYT supports last of 7 siblings. Her instagram message is ambiguous about her youngest brother and just supports her birth last name. I changed the article to support that best reference available in it. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:05, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for considering what I had to say, Geraldo. One more question, can you clear/delete our messages so that my user's talk space is empty like it was before or does our conversation have to remain forever? Or can I do that by just editing? 2600:1702:2A40:3E40:9C0D:D92E:B51D:6702 (talk) 21:15, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
