This template has the potential to cause conflict on the inclusion of various groups. In an attempt to avoid these issues the following rules for addition have been proposed:
- There should be documented evidence that the organization in its doctrines or the leader, not just a few members, have promoted a Black separatist ideology.
- The documentation should be from a reputable source. News reports and statements from individual people, regardless of their notability or expert status, should be avoided if possible because, individuals tend to blur the line between a few members and the organization or they mislabel an organization based on their personal opinion and not fact.
- Black separatism, Black nationalism and Black Power are not racist ideologies in the same way that White Power, White nationalism, and White separatism are.
- Questions and proposed changes for these rules should be posted on the talk page.
