An unreproducible stray event, no diagnostic information, 4 downvotes because of no expectation that the question was answerable based on the available information. And yet, someone recognized the symptom and had a solution. Go figure. | |

since you are quoting the question, it can confuse the unrelated quoting

Meaning, the suggestion to improve hardware rec questions is always to ask about what to look for when buying, whereas for software rec questions you should just state your problem. We found it hard to put that in one close reason, but of course, we're open to suggestions. That being said I don't see this version of "too localized" being used so often that it warrants a separate close reason. | |

If you want to flag your question for immediate deletion, that's also fine. Of course, it makes sense to think about whether the info can be rephrased in such a way that it would actually be useful for visitors. But if not, then yeah, let's just delete it. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 18:08 | comment | added | Jason C | Would you recommend deleting such a question, or closing it? It sounds like delete, but just confirming. If close, what close reason? For example. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 16:56 | comment | added | slhck Mod | Yeah. Unfortunately "localized" meant something completely different when you look it up online. I wish we had this close reason back though. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 16:54 | comment | added | Canadian Luke | I remember the "Too Localized" reason being used for this | |
