It's the "Sacramento City" bit that throws me (especially in narrative text, but also in schedule charts). Having been through it on a number of these CC/JC articles, I'm increasingly uncomfortable with "Sacramento City", "Los Angeles City", "Long Beach City", etc. as the short form for applicable "city colleges". In our recent discussion on SFJC, we both agreed in the JC context that an article should be titled "1946 San Francisco Junior College Rams football team". In the JC context, it is awkward to shorten the title to "San Francisco Junior". For similar reasons, I find it awkward/bad form to refer to the team as "Sacramento City", "Los Angeles City", or "Long Beach City". In short, when no disambiguation is needed, a short form (e.g., "Santa Monica" rather than "Santa Monica College") is fine. But where we need disambigution, "Sacramento City College" and "Long Beach City College" are more effective and clear than "Sacramento City". Cbl62 (talk) 10:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, well that's something different. You're suggesting the the short names for these programs be changed. If that's the case, then changes need to be made to standings tables, head coaching record tables, names of articles, names of categories, etc. You should consider thought that the official CCAAA standings employ "Pasadena City", "Fresno City", and "Sacramento City".
