I'm working the close vote queue. I'm seeing a fair amount of questions up for closing, and I realized they are webapps. Once I realized the situation I could lookup the policy in Help or the discussion on Meta.

According to Super User website applications policy, someone opined that webapps should be closed. I'm having a hard time closing them for several reasons. Some of them are detailed in the pro/con discussion Super User website applications policy and won't be rehashed here. But for me, I don't believe 23 upvotes on the accepted answer approaches consensus.

I prefer to have authority clearly stated in the site's rules. The site's rules don't seem to address online webapps specifically; and in the general case a webapp is simply software hosted in a browser. Software in general, and software hosted in a browser in particular, seems to be on-topic for the site. (Unless I am mis-parsing the site rules).

Can the webapp policy please be clearly stated and codified in the site rules? (I don't care what it is; I just need to know what the policy is).

If my calculations are correct, then Super User and total users says there are 678539 users. And Super User and users with 500 or more rep returns 7500. The confidence interval within 1 standard deviation is SQRT(7500), and that value is 86. 23 is a far cry from 86. (And the assumption that the 23 voters are all 500 rep or more is clearly wrong, but it provides a basis to start working with concrete numbers).
