| Nov 20, 2020 at 7:22 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Some time ago there was also some discussion related to deleting old questions: Can we please STOP closing and deleting old posts with answers? and What are the merits, if there is any, of deleting (correctly) answered questions in the main site of MSE? (However, this question focuses on closing rather than deleting.) | |

| Nov 19, 2020 at 22:37 | comment | added | amWhy | Joe: with respect to old posts closed as duplicates of newer posts, that usually happens when an older post is not as detailed or well composed as the same question asked well, later on. Sometimes those questions are merged, to preserve answers from both. But it certainly doesn't necessitate the deletion of older duplicates. | |
