Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Orégonomy
Agree with notion that a Native American language would likely not be given a name that was ascribed to the region by European settlers in the 18th century. Oregon (toponym) states that although the exact origin of the name "Oregon" is disputed, almost all point to an English, French, or Spanish origin; of these theories, the earliest suggests an early 18th-century origin. The one theory mentioned in that article that points to a possible Native American origin of "Oregon" is not tied to the Chinook and also does not suggest that the stress would be placed on the second syllable as article title implies. Sounds like a play on the refuted theory that "Oregon" is derived from ''oregano''. In addition to  mentioned by nom, I suspect  as well and have added the template:hoax|hoax template to the article
