[edit] HYMPS

The original article was a neologistic acronym for Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford universities. HYMPS + Yale gets 3 Google hits (though a different permutation of the letters, HYPSM + Yale, at least gets 375). After a failed prod, the article was rewritten about a group of primates and appears to be a complete hoax; their discoverer, "Richard Kopolovski", for example, gets zero hits.

• Note: HYP is a well-established acronym for the Big Three (universities). ×Meegs 21:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Not knowing what this is is not a good reason to delete it. For great justice. 00:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

  Sure it is. See WP:V, specifically Wikipedia:Verifiability#Burden of evidence. ×Meegs 00:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. this article is obvious nonsense. To the extent that any such acronym exists, it is HYPMS. It also is unencyclopedic and uninformative... this is not Wiki-acronym-finder. --Wilanthule 17:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Nonsense. Wikipedian06 05:46, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. HYMPS does not appear to be widely used acronym. Any relevant information should be posted in the individual articles of the universities or possibly in the article college admissions in the United States. Moldybagel 05:25, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
