Articles for deletion nomination of South Gateway, Salem, Oregon
I have nominated South Gateway, Salem, Oregon, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/South Gateway, Salem, Oregon. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. roux   22:29, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I am frustrated because I worked hard to put up the South Gateway page correctly. It was my first attempt at creating content for Wikipedia. Now I see it is up for deletion. What did I do wrong? Since I am new I do not have much say in the discussion area and honestly I do not know how to post comments yet.

Please help me.


 * Hello. You didn't do anything wrong in particular, it was a good faith addition to Wikipedia.  The reason it is being nominated for deletion is because it apparently lacks notability.  See WP:Notability.     Fyyer    07:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

The following neighborhood associations (NA) in Salem, OR are allowed to exist and are linked off of the Salem, OR page.


 * Lansing,_Salem,_Oregon
 * Northgate,_Salem,_Oregon
 * North_Lancaster,_Salem,_Oregon
 * South_Central,_Salem,_Oregon

The South Gateway NA represents over 13,000 residents and has been around for over 35 years. Those facts alone seem to make it "worthy of notice" on Wikipedia.

What must I provide to prove that it meets the notability requirement?
 * as Fyyer said above, please see the policy on notability. // roux   03:28, 26 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll also note that, in regards to those other articles, you should read this. Personally I think neighborhoods, like most geographic entities, should automatically be notable, but I couldn't find a guideline that says that. To sum up the general notability requirement, what you need are several non-trivial mentions in reliable third party sources. I redirected the article to the Salem article for now until it can be fleshed out a bit. You might take a look at Neighborhoods of Portland, Oregon to see how those articles are put together. You could create an article in a sandbox in your userspace at User:Nidabadesign/South Gateway, Salem, Oregon in order to work on it.
