The question Can the self-service transfer kiosks at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport be used even if one hasn't missed a flight or lost one's boarding pass? was closed because "needs details or clarity". Why? What's unclear or need more details? The only comment by a close-voter was ~go check out the kiosks by yourself.

3I’m voting to close this question because it is simply sealioning and not in search of a real answer to the question it purports to ask.– mlcCommented Jan 21, 2023 at 6:07

Doesn't seem like a practical, real question you face, but a speculative/fictional scenario like some of your other questions.
Doesn't seem like you have done any research (holding on a phone but not speaking to someone doesn't count).
And you have a number of comments already there describing issues that folks have with the question.
We may not have an exact boilerplate close reason for this type of thing, but I agreed with the other close voters that this was suitable enough.

1) "Doesn't seem like a practical, real question you face, but a speculative/fictional scenario" It's a question about some service provided at the airport, why do you think it is a speculative/fictional scenario? 2) "Doesn't seem like you have done any research (holding on a phone but not speaking to someone doesn't count)." is that a reason to close a question?

3Yeah, it kind of is. We have been round this argument numerous times with you - and remember, to add value here, questions and answers need to be useful to future visitors. That should steer how you approach asking here.– Rory Alsop ModCommented Jan 18, 2023 at 17:07

It's a question about some service provided at the airport, so it is clearly of value to future visitors. Most questions here don't show any research and I don't recall I discussed research requirements on meta (I searched for "research" amongst my questions and the answers they receive, didn't see any results). travel.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3985/1810 indicates there's no consensus on the need for research beyond closing questions that can be found easily with a Google search, and such questions are almost always left open in practice Commented Jan 19, 2023 at 14:46
