Capitanes de Ciudad de MéxicoMexico City Capitanes – "Mexico City Capitanes" is how the team is listed on the NBA G League website, in its "Teams," "Standings," "Schedule" pages et al. In addition, various articles on the team in the Associated Press, GQ magazine, Dallas Morning News, Slam magazine and Basketball-Reference.com list the team as the "Mexico City Capitanes," which is evidence towards that being its English COMMONNAME. There is a solid precedent in United States and Canadian sports teams using that naming convention for their English team articles; after all, the Montreal Canadiens are not listed as "Canadiens de Montréal," the Montreal Expos are not listed as "Expos de Montréal" and the Quebec Nordiques are not listed as "Nordiques de Québec". In fact, there's a stronger case that "Mexico City Capitanes" is this team's English common name than that Mexico City Arena is their home arena's English common name (many English speakers still refer to it as Arena CDMX or CDMX Arena)-but that's another discussion, and may be started another time.

I dunno, I understand why would you want to move it, but, then again, it's naming convention has been in Spanish for quite a while (long before the franchise was incorporated into the G League), plus, the logo, the team's official Twitter and Faacebook handle and homepage still use "Capitanes de Ciudad de México". I'm on the fence about changing it.Intruder007 (talk) 23:46, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
The Montreal Canadiens' Twitter, Facebook and homepage all say "Canadiens Montréal" or "Canadiens de Montréal," and that's how they're listed on the French Wikipedia, but here on the English Wikipedia they're listed as the Montreal Canadiens. Tom Danson (talk) 01:41, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Comment: This discussion has gotten hardly any feedback, already relisted once and then not anymore-if we still don't get consensus by the 29th, what's next? Tom Danson (talk) 14:13, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
