| Jul 30, 2013 at 6:50 | comment | added | ben is uǝq backwards | They can receive additional answers @Oak, they can be reopened. I don't necessarily think that they are all worth-keeping but there will be some in there that will be.... | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 4:45 | comment | added | Oak | @benisuǝqbackwards If you don't mind me asking, why do you think that some are worth keeping? What value do they have? Keep in mind my proposal is only about questions with no answers, and that cannot receive additional answers. | |
| Jul 29, 2013 at 23:08 | comment | added | Shog9 Mod | oh, looks like Sam is waffles again, @katie - sorry for the confusion. And that'd be 6K-some questions that're closed, have no answers, and weren't closed as duplicates. | |
| Jul 29, 2013 at 22:54 | comment | added | KatieK | @Shog9 - Hmmm, I don't see an answer from a Sam? Oh, d'oh about the CV queue - my logic there doesn't hold up. Wow - there are only 6000 open questions on SO? I can see keeping closed questions with upvoted answers, but not so much for a low PV / no answers question that somehow managed to get an upvote. | |
| Jul 29, 2013 at 22:44 | comment | added | Shog9 Mod | I agree with Sam's answer, @KatieK - we can't in good conscience automatically delete closed questions that have potentially-useful answers. That leaves just over 6K questions on SO - it's not a big win. Also, it'd do nothing for the close review backlog, since by definition those aren't closed. | |
| Jul 29, 2013 at 22:02 | comment | added | ben is uǝq backwards | Ah, sorry just made a fool of myself then... you're right but I can't agree with deleting all closed questions with a positive score... some are more than worth keeping. | |
| Jul 29, 2013 at 21:58 | comment | added | KatieK | @benisuǝqbackwards - Hmmm, maybe I'm missing something, but Jeff's "formally document the exact policies" post says that only closed questions with "score of 0 or less" are auto-deleted. | |

| Feb 15, 2012 at 19:07 | comment | added | Oak | @Troyen of course I did not mean duplicates :) it was so obvious to me it slipped my mind. Regarding score, though, my whole point is that it should indeed be discarded, because no matter how upvoted the question is, it has no answers and cannot get any answers. | |
| Feb 15, 2012 at 19:00 | comment | added | Troyen | I think you should take into account either question score or close reason. Some questions are closed as duplicates, but they have value in sticking around because they provide another avenue for someone searching to find the actual answer for their problem, even if they didn't know the "correct" search terms. | |
