What should our three off-topic close reasons be?

Question

New changes to the close reasons are all but imminent. Long story short, the following close reasons are going away:

• not a real question
• not constructive
• too localized

The replacement reasons will be:

• unclear what you’re asking — Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking.
• too broad — There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.
• primarily opinion-based — Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.

In addition, off-topic will now have sub-reasons to close. Each SE site will have three custom off-topic reasons, and it's best that we discuss these in advance in anticipation of the changes. See also the post on MSO for the changes from moderator perspective, but there are details that concern ordinary users too.

I think we can keep too localized in some form, it is a veritable close reason for Travel SE. Other suggestions? You can also include a summary of what the text of the reason could be. Keep it short and concise, if possible. Keep it to one close reason for post, so that they can be voted and commented on separately. Exact wording can be worked out later when we decide on which ones to use.

Edit: We can add all reasons that make sense for us, however only three of them will be available to choose from at any given time.

Answer 1

Immigration

While questions about visas are on-topic, they are limited to travel visas (be it business travel or leisure). Any questions about immigrating to a country, or moving there for extended periods of time (e.g. for studies) is off-topic.

Answer 2

WANTA - we are not travel agents

Flight price searches, tour prices etc.

Answer 3

Obsolete

I wouldn't expect this reason to be used when a question is first asked, like most off-topic reasons would be (and I've argued on the main meta about it) but when a question applies to a specific time range, and doesn't continue to apply afterwards, it should be closed (but not deleted) to prevent new answers being added.

Examples include questions about going to Japan after the Fukushima disaster, questions about going to Turkey now, and so on. There is excellent content in there - links to government advisory sites that can be used any time about any country, tips for finding out how dangerous a place is, how to register with your consulate and so on - but at some point, new content shouldn't be added because the situation has ended.

If a situation recurs - a place that was having riots in 2012 finishes those but happens to have riots again in 2015 - you would want a new question for that. So it makes sense to me to close the 2012 one when the situation settled down. This doesn't hurt anyone - questions and answers can still be upvoted and I believe commenting is still possible for those with the rep - but it prevents non-answers being added to it over time, which would cause work for moderators.

Answer 4

Impossible to answer for official reasons

For example, schengen visa rejection questions.. it is an official decision and we can not give any (other) answer for that.

Answer 5

Event-based question - it's similar to too-localized, but I feel that after a certain period of time, we should close questions like the Prague flooding one.

Answer 6

Too many questions in one

It's not something you see very often on stackoverflow, but on travel we regularly see people ask 3-6 questions in one post. I really do think a close vote to put them on hold until they choose one or separate them (with some flexibility) is a good idea.

Example (not to pick on the new guy intentionally, but...):

Transit visa question for Brazilian national transiting in US for 3 hours - 3 questions in one.

Answer 7

Answer easily found on Google* - although we'd need to be aware some people are not good at using search engines

Answer 8

(mildly tongue-in-cheek) - Serial poor questioners - there've historically been a few users who will ask like 10 questions, one every couple of days, each time failing again to meet the requirements of the [faq] that they've been told about each time - like is it subjective, too broad, or the like.

(This was more of a rant, clearly we could just continue to close these questions as there are categories for subjective, too broad, or the like)
