Article written by an editor with a single purpose to promote the Grattons and their work. This article is basically an advertisement for their book, which introduces the idea of 'cross platform promotion' (in fact this article is probably a good example of the self-promotion strategy they advocate). Article is sourced to the Grattons or their publisher, apart from a local newspaper article. I can't see anything else online that is not a social media source or linked to the Grattons.

- Delete as a neologism without significant coverage in independent sources. The local newspaper doesn't mention CPP at all; all the other sources are directly associated with the Grattons. Huon (talk) 15:17, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete This is just an attempt to get multiple articles on the same non-notable subject. That is a characteristic sign of promotionalism DGG ( talk ) 01:23, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
