A lot of these are from commentaries and interviews, which we tend not to include on pages such as this. In addition, I don't find this notable. delete — Defender1031*Talk 03:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Only Homestar has actually cried. Twice. Is that "a lot of crying"? No. Delete. – The Chort 12:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I stand with what i say before. whats next? breatheing? standing? sitting? Slipknot6477 15:19, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Like – The Chort, I have this to say. There were only two from commentaries and where is the interview one? I deleted them so that there is no confusion. Also, this is not about crying (verb), it's about tears (plural noun)Breathing, standing, or sitting don't even relate. Acam30 just made a mistake saying crying.

If a spoon apears in three or more different unrelated toons, we do not then make a Spoon page. This here is a Spoon page. It's collecting examples of normalcy in the toon and touting it as "wow, we got 3 toons with spoons!" Well, you'd expect to have spoons show up a few times in a few hundred toons, no? The noting of spoons, or tears, is unnecessary, as one would expect them to appear from time to time. Delete. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  07:29, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

So, you're saying there is no Spoon? (Seriously, Delete as irrelevant.) wbwolf (t | ed) 15:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I've just had a crazy idea. I think an article on Crying (running gag) would be better than one on Tears. It would avoid Qermaq's Spoon problem and have more meaningful and useful content. We've got pages on smiling so why not an article on crying? Most of the stuff on Tears can be incorporated into the article too. Of course, it would need a different title to avoid confusion with the Strong Bad Email crying. So...what does everyone think? – The Chort 15:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Capital idea! Should we start with a name change of the Tears page, and then edit appropriately? Since we will be using most of the same material, there's no point reinventing the wheel... wbwolf (t | ed) 19:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't see why the page would be much different under the different title, though maybe I'm missing something. For the most part, any time there's crying, there are tears. Also, for something to be a "running gag", the instances have to be related to each other. In this case, I'm not sure that they are.

As a side note, I wonder if a page like Strong Bad Smiling is notable, but I'll start that discussion on that page. So, I agree with the original opinions to delete this page. Trey56 22:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I took the liberty of taking out anything relating to crying. There are still enough appearances. --^Super!Santana^Duper! 18:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm just going to take that to be discussed thing off because nothings happening and there really is no reason why this should be deleted anyway.--^Super!Santana^Duper! 21:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
