# Disputed flag for a question posted as an answer

A few days ago I flagged this answer as Not An Answer (NAA) where the user actually says that "I just observed this numerically and wondered why".

That is, the user attempts to answer a 1-year-old post using a mathematical claim that is unproven (to the user).

I flagged it for deletion since I believe it is better make a new question (which is literally what the "answer" post is about) and link to the original post. This seems to me to be the proper course even for the sake of providing new content to the old post.

My flag turned out to be disputed.

A negligence on my part was that back then I didn't leave a comment (as seen now) explaining the reason why I flagged it as NAA.

I understand that the decision making process differ a lot among reviewers, and NAA is not the easiest for people to agree on.

Having said that, I'm wondering

1. Are there formal other ways for me to "nominate" the post to be considered for deletion essentially for this same rationale? (I cannot flag it again for the same reason)

2. If it just so happens that someone else flags this answer for the same reason (NAA) and the new flag goes through undisputed, would it change my flagging record?

• It seems to me that the answer by now does contain an argument. I think you might misinterpret the last sentence. As it stands now, I don't see a strong reason to delete it. – quid Feb 10 '19 at 14:26
• @quid I agree—it's now basically "I noticed this then proved it as above". – timtfj Feb 10 '19 at 14:36
• Appreciate your input. Indeed, back when I raised the flag it was the very first version (before any revision), and the following part of the sentence was not there proof was a bit trickier than on first appearances, along with other stuff. – Lee David Chung Lin Feb 10 '19 at 14:54
