The not a real question close reason's description on most sites is the following (emphasis mine):
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.
The "overly broad" clause was implemented over a year ago, but a number of sites are still missing the clause, and have the following description:
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.
This appears to be a problem on the following sites:

I confirmed these by checking the description on http://<sitename>.stackexchange.com/posts/popup/close/<postid>
, where <sitename>
is the site short name and <postid>
is the ID of a non-closed question.
