I've lived here in Colorado Springs for nearly 12 years, have been visiting Colorado Springs for more than 45 years, and multiple relatives including some very active members of the community have lived here for considerably longer. None of us have ever heard the term "Springsteens." Sounds a lot like a violation of WP:NOR. It also sounds like you've been played by a Bruce Springsteen fan. Most people in Colorado Springs are conservative, with many of military affiliation, and would strongly object to being referred by a name having anything to do with the decidedly liberal, anti-military singer. That's slander, at best, if not defamation, rendering such utterances subject to extreme derision if not painful nose-twisting (yes, I say this in jest, but only with respect to the nose-twisting). Common demonyms include, "people of Colorado Springs," "those who live in the Springs," and "Colorado Springers." Please do NOT use "Springers" by itself, either, as that's also quite incorrect. Thank you. Clepsydrae (talk) 03:15, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

A few of these definitely seem questionable.. Can anyone help with some possible cleanup? 2601:647:8481:B000:647D:5B9F:512B:F1DC (talk) 05:47, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
The only vaguely relevant sources here are for the Longmont entry. The other sources are various links to CO agencies/organization, and one 404'd google book which might never have worked. None seem to have a list like this.
Also, this appears to be the only list of its type on the wiki. As far as I can tell, no other US state has a list of demonyms, and I'm not sure it's necessary; Each city with a significant demonym should have it listed in its infobox. 217.180.234.97 (talk) 01:15, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
