IMO, they should both just be open. The first one as pointed out in comments is *not* a duplicate - the two questions refer to different players. It should never have been closed as a duplicate. The second one seems perfectly clear to me. No idea why it's been closed.
I'm not too bothered about moderator closes when they're clearly correct, it's when there is significant doubt about whether they're correct moderators should should hold off hitting the button.
