A redo of tears?
Didn't we already delete a page about tears? I don't think this page should go, but I just felt like pointing it out.

- Yeah, we did. Way back when, before we saved deleted articles' talk pages, even. --DorianGray 20:56, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
- Doesn't that mean it should be discussed? I personally think it doesn't happen in any way that's unique to the HR universe, but on the other hand, it might be useful to have a list of every time someone has cried, even if it's not a running gag per se. I wouldn't be upset to see it go, but i wouldn't be upset to see it stay either. I think what i'm trying to say is neutral. — Defender1031*Talk 21:24, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
