Too localized:

This question would only be relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.

So when would you use that? Can someone show an example (*i.e provide a link)?

I think that perhaps "Too localized" should be reworded to "Too narrow", the description text simply:

This question is of interest to only the asker and is likely not of interest to many other people on the www.

That said, I'm not entirely sure "too localized" should be listed as a close reason, and instead should be grouped together with "not a real question",

"Not a real question" could then be "Not a real good question", since that is basically what it is. Its meaner, but call a spade a spade, I always say.

Answer 1

already answered here.

Remove “Generally Applicable” Part of “Too Localized” Rationale for Closing Questions

So let's consider each one.

1. Small geographic area

   Are there any user group meetings in Peoria, IL?

2. Specific moment in time

   When will Visual Studio 2010 be released?

3. Extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet

   We use this in-house tool WELBOG.EXE to generate faxes from XML via regular expressions. What does the -LASERS option do?

Answer 2

I can think of some examples of questions that could be closed as too localized.

• Questions about a feature implemented in a software module that doesn't work because a bug
• Questions about the meaning of a phrase that is used only in a restricted area
• Questions about the day an OS release will be made public
• Questions about the average pay of a developer

Such questions are relevant in a specific moment of time, or in a specific place.
A bug in a module can be fixed the day after, and the question would not be relevant anymore; the same is true about the release date of an operating system. A bug could also depend from other software used, and be not reproducible from other users.

Replacing the "too localized" closing reason with one that is described as "the question is of interest to only the asker," or "not a real good question" would mean to adopt a closing reason that is more subjective than the existing one.
How do you know when a question interest only the OP, or any other users in the same situation? How do you quantify a good question? How can you be sure that every user who votes to close a question as not a good question quantify a good question in the same way?

Maybe the "too localized" closing reason is less used, but I think there are cases where it is the one that better suits some cases.
