User talk:Blackpride

A tag has been placed on Seattle Black Pride, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Steve (Slf67)talk 09:43, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Seattle Black Pride
You might want to visit WikiProject LGBT studies and WikiProject LGBT studies/Notice board to request the help of some experienced Wikipedia editors in writing your article.

BTW: When I tried to visit http://www.seattleblackpride.org, I ended up in this repeating Unknown error loop. I don't know if it was because your website doesn't like that I'm using Firefox 1.5 for my browser, or what, but I've never had a problem like that before. BlankVerse 13:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
