Please help me to add content and Wikify this page. I think the Rainbow Lounge Raid 2009 will go down in LGBT history.

Why is this article flagged for deletion? It meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion.
1) Is the event important or newsworthy?
YES: Multiple major news networks are covering the event, and it touches on strong themes in society such as (unverified) police brutality and (unverified) gay persecution.
2) Does the article site sources?
YES: All major points in the article are sited in the appropriate footnotes.
3) Does the article take a neutral voice?
YES: Though this could be cleaned up a bit, and additional information added, there is no definite bias to the information presented, nor is the tone of the article in first-person, third-person, etc. No "weasel words" are used.
Whoever has marked this article for deletion needs to explain why they have done so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.50.246.246 (talk) 21:39, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Anyone else notice that the main news outlets haven't discussed this news story at all? Why isn't that mentioned in the article? --98.232.181.201 (talk) 08:36, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Because it would be original research ? and we don't do original research. --Cameron Scott (talk) 09:23, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
