Needs more focus
Apr 3, 2019 at 11:44 comment added Peter Flom @asdf There certainly are bad questions. I'm not saying this is one, but there are some. But Nick's point is that this is not a good question for CV.
Apr 2, 2019 at 14:21 comment added Nick Cox I did not use the word bad; not good is not the quite the same. But either way: Not so; there are questions not good for CV and some are closed or put hold every day. They are defined as precisely as we can define them in the advice for CV. Naturally, the definition is social, especially that a question is deemed not good if and only if a moderator or sufficiently high-rep users vote a certain way. And individuals might disagree.
