Shouldn't the article Tom Robinson Band be merged in with this article? Ultimately TRB was just a part of Tome Robinson's career? Any thoughts? Davidpatrick 18:26, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Sure seems like a reason proposal to me. I've added "merge" banners to the top of the appropriate pages to facilitate discussion. I'd vote YES to merging... 172.131.12.141 (talk) 22:45, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I would vote NO. If the band were called something else not featuring the name of TR we would not even be having this discussion. (Goldmanuk (talk) 11:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC))

I'd have to agree with Goldmanuk. The Tom Robinson Band were a band not just "a part of Tom Robinson' career" No merge please Cavie78 (talk) 13:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Song lyrics

I believe we shouldn't be quoting large chunks of lycics for fear of copyright problems, so I removed the 8 line verse from 'Glad to be Gay' from this page, replacing with a comment about them.

I believe this is compliant with the guideline Wikipedia:Lyrics and poetry though that says the amount of lyrics you can quote legitimately is "open to interpretation" --Mortice 18:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

The lyrics to all of his songs are on his official website, which is linked from this page, so probably not a copyright problem. Not sure there is any need to quote them, anyway, though. --Guineveretoo 15:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
