The result was delete. Inexplicably, this rather poorly-defined entry is more lengthy than the Gay pride article itself, this notwithstanding the fact that the consensus here point to it being, at this time, a mere footnote extension of the latter. El_C 17:51, 30 July 2007 (UTC) reply
This article was nominated for deletion a year and a half ago for the flimsy argument of being "homophobic," and given only that argument it was rightfully kept, as Wikipedia is not censored and controversial subjects are OK to write about as long as done in an NPOV manner (cf. the obviously related White pride).
However, the article has been tagged as needing verification and sourcing for most of its life here on Wikipedia (over 2 years), and there are still no reliable sources firmly documenting the existence and notability of "straight pride" as a concept. The majority of the sources seem to come from the "Straight Pride Clothing Company," obviously an unacceptable source and bordering on advertising, while the rest of the sources only discuss tangential points, including a couple news articles about College Republicans controversies. The central focus of the article -- that there is a notable movement or concept of "straight pride" -- is completely unsourced and un verifiable, and has been this way for the life of the article.
If reliable sources surface that confirm that this is a cohesive idea that is indeed notable, this article can certainly be rewritten, but the article as-is is an unsalvageable mess of original research and synthesis. K ri mp et 10:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC) reply
