thread_title:  Where lies the boundary between Westmoreland and Sellwood?   

message: I'm proposing a merger, as I haven't seen enough to establish the verifiability or noteworthiness of "Westmoreland" as a distinct neighborhood.  Sellwood and "Westmoreland" are both included in the same neighborhood association, and they're listed on city neighborhood maps as being in the same "Sellwood-Moreland" neighborhood.  Nobody even seems to know where one ends and the other begins, and I think any possible line that might be drawn would be entirely arbitrary, as the whole area north of Tacoma and the Sellwood Bridge is residential with low-traffic streets.
If someone can come up with something solid, like some kind of historical documentation of "Westmoreland" being a distinct and separate neighborhood at some time, then I might be persuaded to reconsider.  But as it is, it just seems like "Westmoreland" is a name sometimes used for certain parts of this same neighborhood, but it's not even clear which parts they are.  I have a feeling "Westmoreland" might be a relatively new name promoted by real estate people in order to associate it with the more upscale Eastmoreland neighborhood across the highway...I could be wrong...but anyway, I think we need more evidence of "Westmoreland" as something separate and distinct for it to have its own article. -Helvetica (talk) 22:15, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting:  I lived in Sellwood for several years and always assumed the boundary was a west-east line somewhere around SE Lambert or Lexington streets.  Open Street Map shows it is more likely to be a north-south line, perhaps SE 17th or Milwaukie avenues.  It could even be a NW-SE diagonal from Oaks Bottom to the Springwater crossing of McGloughlin..  But I don't know of any definitive boundary.  Several straightforward searches turned up nothing useful.  —EncMstr (talk) 23:26, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Title 

message: I don't know if a move from the official name of the neighborhood is necessary, but I've lived in Portland for over a decade and people generally refer to the neighborhood as simply Sellwood. Should we at least mention the common name in the lead? ---Another Believer (Talk) 06:58, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
