I guess if it's bigger than Sacramento (#2853293) it can stay.

Wiki tells me Austin is the 11th-most-populous city in the United States. The only state capital with a larger population than Austin on that list is New York City. Population isn't everything but if Austin is not considered a "significant" state capital then we should probably not bother mentioning "capital cities" of Anglosphere states and provinces in policy at all.

Thanks for reminding me. If we're not including all US state capitals, this can go.

"(US)" is used in 40 entries, "(USA)" in 14. They should be aligned. I prefer "US". We don't mention the state on any US city entries, as far as I know.
The editorial policy on proper names in JMdict was tweaked about a year ago to add "(if significant)" to the "states and provinces of English-speaking countries and their capital cities" category. (See the discussion on 1077200.)
Austin is one of the larger US state capitals but I'm not sure it's needed here.
