A: What to do in case of unsuccessful duplicate close vote (or flag)?

Asaf KaragilaI think that a separate thread might be a reasonable idea. I feel that we're running close to the end of the current reopen/undelete thread. So having two fresh threads, one for reopening and undeleting, and one for duplicates, should be fine. Next year, or early 2018, when we run the cycle of t...

Still it should be clarified what kind questions should be in that thread.
For example, should a suggestion to change direction (duplicate target) be included as a possible post in that thread?
I have started a kind of general introduction to the thread here (there is certainly a place to improve):

A: Sandbox for drafts of long, complex posts

anonSuggestion of a post serving for duplicate posts, see here for details. This thread is intended to help with closure of duplicates. It should serve for situations where duplicate closure vote was not successful. It is better to have inquiries about duplicate closures in one thread rather tha...

@Martin These should go in the reopen etc thread, Bifurcating such related requests into multiple threads will create too much noise and defeat localization. I will vote to close any such thread as a duplicate of the reopen thread - which it surely is. — Bill Dubuque 3 mins ago
@BillDubuque Dully noted. But this is not the place for discussing this, there is a separate question about this. — Martin Sleziak 5 secs ago
And Asaf thought there will be no additional feedback on this issue:
@Martin: All that changed in the past few days was one more vote on my answer and the removal of a bunch of comments from the main question. I doubt the weekend will bring any new blood into this conversation. — Asaf Karagila 3 hours ago
@MartinSleziak Yes, nonsesne prevails on Meta these days. Whats the point of even trying... good luck. — Bill Dubuque 26 secs ago

That (finite) geometric series question is covered by answers to this (infinite) geometric series question, listed in Meta's List of generalizations of common questions. I have added a comment, but not flagged as duplicate. It might actually be better to add the new Q (with currently 8 answers) to Meta's generalizations list.

An answer in the generalizations list also links to this (finite, induction) question. Might be good enough for dup-closing, but by now amending the meta list seems to be more appropriate.
