Applejack's parents are not dead, and I can counter every argument you've got:

"Lauren Faust said they were dead" Wrong, she said she never got around to creating them. She said she would like to brush them off as dead but the show won't treat them that way. If they were dead, Lauren would say so.

"The shooting stars at the end of Apple Family Reunion" Shooting stars don't mean squat. If a short piece of animation is proof, then we'll have to say that Rarity has a crush on Thunderlane for hugging him in Wonderbolts Academy, Rainbow Dash has a crush on Fluttershy for allegedly kissing her in Canterlot Wedding Part 2, and Twilight and Trixie are sisters because they are so good at magic.

"They haven't been seen." True, but neither has Dash's nor Fluttershy's parents appeared. You don't say they are dead, so why are only AJ's considered dead?

"They weren't in Apple Family Reunion" Yeah, and I can think of three good reasons why. They're too busy, they're sick, or they can't afford to travel.

I think they are on another farm, AJ visits them in between episodes, and after Granny Smith dies, they'll relocate to Sweet Apple Acres.

You can keep arguing all you want, "and yet it moves". AJ's parents are not dead.
