| Dec 3, 2014 at 4:07 | comment | added | Ramhound | @damryfbfnetsi - I know; I didn't want to ramble on about it though. I was just trying to explain that while there isn't a specific "too localized" close reason, localized questions very often, are not good questions to begin with ( which is one of the reasons there was a "too localized" reason at one time ). | |
| Dec 3, 2014 at 2:22 | comment | added | gparyani | @Ramhound That's true. (Except in certain cases, when a close reason is removed, it doesn't mean the questions are now on-topic. The custom-comment off-topic close reason exists to cover topics previously covered by boilerplate close reasons. Example: the "bugs in beta software and prototype hardware" close reason was removed, but questions about those are still to be closed.) | |

I believe allquixotic's point about how localized it is that although there is no longer a close reason for questions that are too localized they still don't make good questions.
