Link-only answers are not OK. We consider them "not an answer"; they should be comments.

The VLQ flag is to be used only for complete trash that makes no sense and is utterly unsalvageable. (SourceSource, from a cofounder of the network.) Keyboard mashing and other garbage fits that description, but not much else. Non-English posts, comments posted as answers, link-only answers, and questions are NAA but not VLQ.

If it doubt, use NAA. That flag would be been approved on both answers you mentioned.
