I often feel a question needs to be closed because it's too broad to be answered, and it would need many more details to winnow it down to being possible to answer.
Like here, I voted to close this, but chose "Not a real question" which isn't really the best reason, none of the choices fit.
How about we implement a "Too Broad" close reason?
This would help educate those whose questions are closed, so that they could write better questions in the future.
Example:
I favor editing the NARQ description rather than creating yet another close reason to process.
How about
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.

done. this will be rolled out tomorrow across all sites.
While the close reason "not a real question" isn't directly what you want, that category covers a wide range of things:
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.
I think 'vague' + 'ambiguous' is close to 'broad', but not quite right.
We should either add 'too broad' ('too general', 'not specific', etc.) to that list, or we just say 'vague' + 'ambiguous' is close enough.
I don't think it'd be necessary to introduce a new reason: ...cannot be reasonably answered in its current form... seems like it's a perfect fit for overly broad questions. While an overly broad question could theoretically be answered definitively, it's probably not reasonable to expect such an answer.
