Re-cut and locked it. As well as the other title he inappropriately linked to.

The fact that said editor almost immediately re-added a badly formatted, capitalised, and punctuated entry linking to a trope page with a second-level bullet immediately under it saying "please don't delete this" (all lower case) seems to suggest that a tap on the shoulder by a mod (whether by PM or otherwise) regarding the wiki's formatting guidelines might be in order.

Bumping after said editor re-added the badly formatted link (which is in the wrong namespace, to boot), complete with another "please do not delete this link" sub-bullet (again, all lower case). I'm starting to share StFan's suspicions that this may be an author recommending his/her own work. Definitely someone who needs to be pointed towards the various "How to edit" Administrivia pages post haste in either case.

Shouldn't the review be deleted anyway, since there's no name associated with the review?

Suspended them.

I've deleted the review, on charges of lack of name, lack of content, and probable self-recommendation.
