FYI, this close reason was implemented for testing on http://scifi.stackexchange.com and http://english.stackexchange.com We've finished our evaluation. For background see the blog post: Are Some Ques …

The default # of close votes per day is 12. I just noticed that SU and SF have been at 24 close votes per day per user since ... well, forever. I'm going to go ahead and make 24 close votes per day …

I think the reason is pretty clear: 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 applica …

The last vote cast has priority in the case of tiebreakers. Has nothing to do with the ID numbers in the table.

So I was thinking that if you don't get any useful answers you should delete your question and re-post it with more details. You should also add what you don't want to do(from the answers that did no …

You guys had your fun in the beta—but normals will be confused if they see joke proposals on the front page of the website. It would be causing harm. The focus of the sites we're creating is learning. …

In the name of consolidation and simplifying the existing standard close reasons, we're changing this reason from "subjective and argumentative" to not constructive This question is not a goo …
