Talk:Los Cerrillos, New Mexico

Article Title
This article was recently moved from "Los Cerrillos, New Mexico" to just "Los Cerrillos". That doesn't conform to standard Wikipedia naming conventions. Only large, well known cities, such as Los Angeles and Boston, do not include the state name in the article title. Even the article for Albuquerque is titled "Albuquerque, New Mexico". If a user types in "Albuquerque" they are redirected to the "Albuquerque, New Mexico" page. By moving the article, user Unreal7 has deviated from the standard naming conventions. I suggest that it should be moved back, and an automatic redirect created if someone enters "Los Cerrillos". Martylunsford (talk) 16:05, 12 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Agree with Martylunsford. This was an incorrect move, and I've reverted to "Los Cerrillos, New Mexico" . --Pete Tillman (talk) 20:01, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

More History and critique on the supposed name.
I used to live there, and "Los Cerrillos" just sounds so wrong. The state's signs on the highway don't call it "LOS" Cerrillos. Who does, really? But the real points of this section are, for one, my having heard that Cerrillos was once on the short list for location of the territorial capitol, and secondly, that the town was incorporated at one time. There was a vote (around 1902?) to disincorporate, and it passed 6 to 2. I don't have any materials to corroborate this, but if somebody can verify it, it would be a great addition to the article.
