replies: text: The result is that despite Bing's low-key personality, he is thought to wield considerable clout within the Democratic Party hierarchy.
Unless an adequate source can be found for this statement, I would suggest that it be removed. As it stands at present, it is merely conjecture. M1CH4EL (talk) 00:13, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: It has been widely reported that Bing's aircraft was used for Bill Clinton's August 2009 trip to North Korea to negotiate the release of two journalists, and that he personally financed the trip. The fact that this has attracted coverage in reliable sources indicates to me that it is a notable fact about Bing. Derek.cashman disagreed and removed the statements and source. I'm soliciting other editors' views on the inclusion of this fact.

replies: text: Perhaps a section titled Philanthropy should be created, including his other humanistic activities, like funding Brad Pitt's housing project in New Orleans?  Seems better than lumping these items in with Personal Life.  WikiTracker (talk) 14:47, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Something worth adding to his article 

message: The only headline I've seen calling this a suicide is the Variety headline.  Every other headline just calls it a death.  It might be premature to call this a suicide.Rich (talk) 19:51, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Death 

message: This 1-sentence paragraph doesn't seem descriptive enough. At least readers will want to know: did he know Jeffrey Epstein? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 08:08, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
