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)
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)
I agree with Cavie78. TRB were a band. Tom was an important member of the group but the sum was greater than the parts. Don't merge. Yozzer66 ( talk) 22:12, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Another NO vote. TRB were a separate entity, with important musicians like "Dolphin". If/when Tom Robinson's article is fleshed out with more information about Sector 27, The Crew, his solo work, etc, it would also become rather long. Arjayay ( talk) 15:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
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)
Bowie is not bisexual and Robinson was not 'reviled by the gay press' because of his sexuality. I've deleted both references. Vauxhall1964 ( talk) 10:27, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Given that it states right in the article Robinson does not identify as bisexual, why does the article state he's bisexual? He could be pansexual for example, which is not the same thing at all. If there are no objections posted in the next few days, I'm going to change the article to remove references to him being bisexual. SmashTheState ( talk) 10:06, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

The statement that Tom rarely performs live nowadays is now well out of date. He is fully back to playing with a band on the road. I have hesitated to alter this myself, as I don't know exactly when it started. It's been a few years though. There was a big tour last year performing the first TRB album 'Power In The Darkness' all the way through, for example.
