CCA

Rfv-sense: California Commuters Alliance. This probably exists or existed as a group, but as it's quite obscure there are very limited hits for it. So much so that I have no choice but to add it to RFV. Perhaps RFD would be better in this case. Anyway, I'm stumbling on lots of these obscure acronyms/initialisms etc. in my work that a bigger question could be brought up. Working on CCA I have checked a number of the definitions, and some are things that no longer exist (Computer Corporation of America, Canadian Conference of the Arts, Centre for Corporate Accountability) and some are extremely obscure, such as Caribbean Contemporary Arts. I assume we want to keep them if they are cited, but perhaps there are special criteria for acronyms. --Pious Eterino (talk) 14:59, 31 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

That the entities the abbreviations refer to no longer exist is not directly relevant. The question is: Are the abbreviations attestable? We are a historical dictionary, among other things, and should be able to help people read old books, journals, and newspapers that may contain these.
