Recent edit/revert

Hello User:Hipal and other editors!

I need explanations on this lines that are on the page:

Binn's ex-girlfriend Amy Dorris says that they attended the U.S. Open in 1997 with Donald Trump, who Binn had described as his best friend. At the event she alleges that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her.

References

From my understanding, I believe the lines are funny. 1. Both dudes attended a U.S Open event as claimed by the ex-girl. What has this got to do with Binn's page?

2. Donald Trump is being accused of assaulting Binn's ex-girlfriend. The sexual assault is a mere allegation that is not proven. It's against WP:CRIME. If at all it must be allowed, it should be on Donald Trump's page not on Binn's.

User:Hipal, could you explain why you reverted the removal? I need to understand pls. I don't want to go into edit-warring with you. I strongly believe the entire content ought to be removed. It makes no sense. This is biography of a Living person.

Pls I stand to be corrected. I am taking this up at WP:BLP Noticeboard. I need clearance on this. To me, it's quite funny and the entire lines are against the dictates of WP:BLP.Ilsecondoordine (talk) 20:24, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for starting a discussion.

The reference is of high quality per [].

The reference goes into detail about Binn regarding Dorris and Trump.

Let's see what we get from BLPN. --Hipal (talk) 20:37, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I'm not a BLP expert by any means, but I saw this post on the noticeboard and thought I'd give my two cents. I don't think there's a BLP issue per se with this material, but personally I'd still remove it under WP:OFFTOPIC. Based on the source, Binn doesn't appear to have been involved in the alleged assault or its aftermath, and he states that "he had no recollection of Dorris telling him that anything inappropriate had happened" at all; therefore, while Binn has clear personal connections to both Dorris and Trump, the alleged assault isn't notable in the context of Binn's article. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 22:37, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Coming here from BLPN, I have to agree this seems to be WP:COATRACK and WP:UNDUE in this article. Definitely as worded, this leads me to think, WTF does this have to do with Binn since the only connection is she was his girlfriend at the time so they attended the event together and he once called Trump his best friend. There's no suggestion Binn was involved in the alleged assault in any way or had a significant response or non response towards it. I had a look at the source to see if anything was missed but not really. It mentions she can't recall if she told Binn about the incident although she did tell him “He’s all over me. I can’t deal with this. You have to do something.”. This doesn't seem to be enough to give this any significant relevance to Binn. This may very well belong in some article on Trump and an article on Amy Dorris if we ever have, and it would likely be fine to mention Binn in such cases. If it helps, IMO it only being an allegation is not particularly important in this case. IMO, even if what happened was proven beyond a reasonable doubt, it still wouldn't belong here since it still has little to do with Binn. Nil Einne (talk) 11:57, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

While I am seeing considerable coverage at the time, I'm not finding references that demonstrate longer-term importance.

Mention of Binn's friendship may be due given the ref above and --Hipal (talk) 20:50, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Jason Binn two requests March 2024

Out of respect for the 'close connection' tag and the page's history, I'd rather not make any changes myself because of a potential COI, but would like to request:

1) New heading for personal life

Could the second paragraph of "biography", about his family be moved to a "Personal life" section, and "biography" changed to "Early life and education?" Thanks - pet layout peeve for biographies.

2) COI tag technicality

The Template:COI tag was added on Sept. 14, 2023 (diff1). It seems to be in good faith, but, the editor didn't add a talk page note with the specific editor(s) they had in mind, so possible to remove the tag for breaking the COI tag guidelines for BLPs?

Thank you kindly, M.Rochefort.D (talk) 21:30, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Edit request

Hello, I would like to suggest a few updates to the Jason Binn article to improve accuracy and sourcing.

Duplicate Reference

The New York Times article dated July 2, 2011 (“Jason Binn Spends Summer Sundays on the Beach”) is currently cited twice in the references. This should be consolidated to a single citation.

Recent Coverage

• Although much of Binn’s media coverage dates from earlier in his career, there are more recent reliable sources that could be added to reflect his continued public presence:

• Page Six (Nov. 12, 2024): Mentioned at Kevin Costner’s NYC party

• Mansion Global (Sept. 6, 2016): Coverage of listing his Manhattan condo

• Hola! (Dec. 13, 2022): Attendance at a NYC event

• USA Today (Apr. 25, 2016): Anecdote about Kanye West interrupting Binn’s wedding toast

Excluded Source The Politico (Jan. 4, 2023) article includes only a photo credit and no textual mention of Binn, so it may not meet the threshold for inclusion.

Request: Could an editor review these sources and, if appropriate, update the article by (a) removing the duplicate NYT citation, and (b) adding the more recent, reliable mentions listed above to better reflect coverage of Binn after the 2010s?

Thank you. 92.40.214.69 (talk) 19:31, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

Partly done Thepharoah17 (talk) 04:41, 15 September 2025 (UTC) I merged the refs as requested.

Partly done: I merged one additional dupe ref that was included. In reviewing these references, I don't think that any would specifically be beneficial or fit into the article currently as written, but they can remain here on the talk page for future editors should they wish to make changes to the article and find them helpful.
