My question http://superuser.com/questions/327971/is-the-server-hardware-or-softwarehttps://superuser.com/questions/327971/is-the-server-hardware-or-software was close on the same day citing wikipedia quotes that Server can be both hardware and software hence this is not a real question

Since then wikipedia answer has changed and it now emphasis more on server being software. Should we be closing question here just because there is citation available in wikipedia but that is not clear to OP or he does not agree on it or he need more authoritative answer?

I am asking this question after so many months passed by because this is my 2nd question with more number of hits. Why close question which people find interested and are on topic?
