This question is now used to keep track of what our close reasons are and how they have evolved.
- To propose new close reasons, please add an answer to Proposals for new Close reasons.
As per this meta.SO post, an overhaul of the close system is under way. Of the numerous changes that will take place, the following will no longer be reasons for closing:
- not a real question,
- not constructive, and
- too localized
They will be replaced instead by:
- unclear what you’re asking,
- too broad, and
- primarily opinion-based.
Furthermore, off-topic will now include sub-reasons for closing. This can include site-specific reasons, though any close-voter can write in their own wording for that particular question (which will be subsequently turned into a comment).
So, what should our list of default off-topic reasons be?
In general, what is not covered by the three new reasons (plus duplicate, which is still in place)?
Thanks to EnergyNumbers♦ over on meta.sustainability and Chris White over on meta.physics for this question.

search term, but mods and users with over 2k rep (during beta, 10k rep normally) have access to moderator tools (for instance posts closed in the last 30 days). $\endgroup$ – Mark Booth♦ Jun 18 '13 at 23:36
