Mission High School (San Jose, California)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article about a high school that appears to be a hoax. The one reference is to a caption on an image in the Huffington Post (see article's talk page). This appears to be a misprint by the Post, since shows that the school with the marching band in the 2012 London New Year Parade is Mission San Jose High School, which does exist, but is located in Fremont, CA; see: Mission San Jose High School. So the only reference is to a different school.

Searching on Google reveals no "Mission High School" in San Jose, CA. I believe this article to either be a deliberate hoax, or a mistake derived from a misprint in the reference. The tone of the "Student Body" article is unfortunate to say the least and draws its own conclusion about participation by African-American students from one picture. The infobox of the article is clearly copied from Mission San Jose High School, cf the school logo. Sparthorse (talk) 22:37, 1 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as a hoax, the use of the same file for the crest of Mission San Jose High School on this article makes it obvious. If this and Sparthorse's evidence were not enough, this high school is not listed on any list of high schools in San Jose, California that I have seen, such as this one.
