There was a Fair Park Texas Centennial Buildings article but I'm guessing since it had so little info it was merged here into Fair Park. I think with all of User:Dfwcre8tive's expansion to the Historic Core section, it deserves it's own article again. Some how it doesn't feel right with a National Historic Landmark not having it's own deserving article while SuperPages.com Center does already. NThomas ( talk) 12:20, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
The Texas Centennial Exposition should be updated with the history of the 1936 structures and exposition itself in more detail. I have several old exposition guides to pull information from for that article, which can contain lost structures or other official exposition uses of the buildings. Since the Historic Core is one geographic section of the current park, it should remain in this Fair Park article with the buildings' names as they are used today. I think the most effective way is to eventually give each significant building its own article, similar to how the Hall of State and museums are currently directed. Then a separate "National Historic Landmark" box or paragraph can be added with a list of the specific structures included in the designation Dfwcre8tive ( talk) 20:20, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
I am checking in to see if there is still interest in splitting this data out, as it appears there is no consensus on this issue. Thanks. Tiggerjay ( talk) 06:30, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
I think it's a moot point, as the text was apparently copied from elsewhere - see following section. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:05, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

I am improving the page by removing/editing the progress of projects that have been already completed/achieved. Also, there are some sentence structure issues that I am correcting. I request others to contribute as well. RK Deepak 12:18, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Doesn't something about the "Big Tex" figure and the spectacular destruction of the old one by fire belong here? 2600:1004:B16D:C243:E4AC:3758:1A73:94CB ( talk) 05:21, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
