Paul Robinson
Hi I am just wondering how were you informed about Paul Robinson's spam self-promotion? Also remember this is a dictionary, we describe use of words. If this IS his self-promotion, then so be it. As long as the words that his references are listed under get used in his book, it shall remain included as a source! At least there is no copyright issues involved!

 * I found out about Paul Robinson's spam from TV Tropes Wiki, which had a recent problem with him spamming references to his unpublished novel all over the place, often adding multiple-paragraph quotes from his work to articles when the quotes were barely tangentially related. See their "Entry Pimp" article, plus if you search for "Paul Robinson", you'll get a bunch of discussion pages where people mentioned deleting his spam from the articles. Of particular note is the bottom of this page: "The Trope Academy gives its Special Lifetime Achievement Award to Paul Robinson, who has made a special effort to flog his own (unpublished) novel Instrument Of God in every freaking trope he can possibly justify it in, and more than a few that he can't — to the point that other tropers complained." --Poochy 02:02, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
