What's the proper adjective to describe something that should not be ignored? My intuition is that it should be "not ignorable", but my chrome spell checker doesn't think that is a correct word, and when I looked it up, I found it is only "Austral, informal". Hence the question. Thanks.
Note,
- I want to say "not ignorable", instead of something like "significant" or alike.
- I also tried "neglectable", but my chrome spell checker doesn't think it is a correct word either. And besides, I think the meaning is slightly off as well.
Supplement:
For the context of the question — this is meant for a business environment, when delivering some minor negative news. I want to be polite and respectful of my audience, but make them aware of something – to call their attention to it.

The proper word is "ignorable":
You may be confusing the Australian usage of ignore as a noun, which is non-standard, with the completely acceptable, regular formation of an adjective from a verb by appending the suffix "-able".
Example: "... certain types of response error are not ignorable..." https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=FS-x3tPdXeMC&pg=PA229&dq=%22not+ignorable%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjxmJS_8vbPAhXJL8AKHfKMBPwQ6AEIHjAA#v=onepage&q=%22not%20ignorable%22&f=false
