- Delete unless good sources are provided showing that this combination is actually in widespread use. A newspaper story... a quotation from a college guide... something like that. A factoid like this cannot stand on the sole authority of Wikipedia editors.

Rather odd. HYPS suggests Stanford is among the top four universities, but HYPMC suggests that it isn't among the top five. Perhaps we need articles on HYPM, HYPCM, HYSPMC, YHPCMS, etc. to take account of the full range of opinion on these matters. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:02, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Funnily enough, the creator of HYPS gave it links to HYPSM and HYPSMC right from the start. See this, too. And we have hyps as well. A Google search convinces me that there's a Wiktionary article HYPSMC to be had here, expanding the initialism, establishing use, and giving the origin if it can be determined. The silly edit war here convinces me that there's nothing encyclopaedic to be had here whilst still retaining the NPOV. As per Func, Redirect to

- Delete this and all other permutations of the letters C, H, M, P, S, and Y that refer to a similar concept. (Why didn't they spell it CHYMPS?) AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 01:08, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete this and the variations. Hell, delete Chimps just to be sure we get them all. :) I also think this one is a joke entry playing off the other ones. Wikibofh 20:44, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, no one considers these the best LACs. A AWSP - Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, and Pomona article should instead be created.
