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](https://meta.superuser.com/q/821/173513), 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](https://meta.superuser.com/q/821/173513) 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](https://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/edit/909592) says there are 678539 users. And [Super User and users with 500 or more rep](https://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/edit/909592) 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).
