Unsure over why Question was closed

I had a recent question closed (link below) and the reason given was that it lacked detail...

Not exactly sure how anyone can read this as lacking detail?

Applications of Vector Spaces that are not defined over $$\mathbb{R}$$?

• Questions on this site can be closed because they are too broad. This may have been on users minds when they submitted close votes. That said I disagree with the closure, because someone else is bound to have the same question and the answer should be on stack exchange. – user400188 Sep 24 at 6:57
• @user400188 - Appreciate the mindset re broad, but how exactly should this question be repositioned to meet the community standards? The question is broad because it is a broad question. Until I made the post I hadn't ever heard of any applications of Vector Spaces that wasn't defined over the Field of Real Numbers. Google wasn't providing anything so I came here... – David Galea Sep 24 at 7:58
• The question also overlaps with this older one? Don't know if it would be fair to call it a duplicate though. – Jyrki Lahtonen Sep 24 at 19:00
