| Oct 25, 2015 at 17:12 | comment | added | copper.hat | The Batman Question is wonderful. Questions about summing positive numbers to $-{1 \over 12}$ are not. These reflect my biases. In fact, if I recall correctly (and that is often in doubt), I think it was the Batman question (which I saw originally on makezine.com) that led me to MSE in the first place. I think@GEdgar's suggestion about a pragmatic approach is reasonable. | |

| Oct 24, 2015 at 4:05 | comment | added | Aloizio Macedo Mod | @MartinSleziak I know of the ubiquitousness of the "Batman Question" on meta, but I thought my question was of a different nature, with this only being an "example". It seems the meta posts on the "Batman Question" are specific to that question. Also, the examples are only that: examples. I only got the first things that sprang to mind. My question is of a more practical objective. I'll edit to clarify. PS: You and mixedmath would really skip the second one? I understand the first one, but the core of the second one is "What's the best way to explain to a non-mathematician..." (cont...) | |

| Oct 24, 2015 at 3:52 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Not only standards of the MSE community evolve, but also different people have different standards. For both examples you linked, I would either click on leave open or skip in the close votes review queue. | |
| Oct 24, 2015 at 3:47 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | This seems (to some extent) related: Why close old questions with accepted answers using the “no context” reason? (However, your question seems to be mainly about soft questions and opinion based questions.) Maybe it is worth mentioning that the first question you link was discussed in several threads on meta. | |
