We show, on purely statistical grounds and without appeal to any physical model, that a power-law $q-$entropy $S_q$, with $0<q<1$, can be {\it extensive}. More specifically, if the components $X_i$ of a vector $X \in \mathbb{R}^N$ are distributed according to a Gaussian probability distribution $f$, the associated entropy $S_q(X)$ exhibits the extensivity property for special types of correlations among the $X_i$. We also characterize this kind of correlation.
