"Homely"

Miss Boyle is described as "homely" in the article, it should be noted that this word has a completely different meaning in the UK from that in the US. In the UK it means simply someone who prefers a simple home life and has no relation to physical characteristics.213.205.242.127 (talk) 09:27, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Add to the "In popular culture" section: In the 2 May 2019 episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, "Return of the King", Charles Boyle mentions her as the cousin who didn't know she could sing until her late 40s. 68.193.81.243 (talk) 15:43, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the popular culture section, please add the Brooklyn 99 reference made by Charles Boyle in Season 6, Episode 15. Charles says, "It's such a classic Boyle trait not to recognize talent. My cousin Susan didn't know she could sing until her late 40s."

 Not done. Trivial WP:FANCRUFT, could be mentioned only if it's actually part of the storyline. Also, Metro is considered generally unreliable.  Ganbaruby! (talk) 10:09, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add that Susan Boyle is a second cousin of prominent Irish politician Dan Boyle. Their grandfathers, according to this source, were brothers. https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/arid-30409651.html 212.129.75.96 (talk) 17:25, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. I don't think mentioning second cousins is terribly necessary or due. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:51, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest that the comilation album "Ten (2019)" be removed from the § Discography listing.

From what I've seen in numerous other articles, when musicians have external discographies like Susan Boyle discography and {{Susan Boyle}}, the inline listing is supposed to consist strictly of studio album links - so no compilations, no EPs, no albums without articles of their own, et cetera. 2A02:560:5821:6C00:8927:F475:6FA6:FF53 (talk) 12:05, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
