What are the criteria for deleting a question?

Q: How to transform complex and compound sentence into a set of simple sentences?

@OtavioMacedo I was thinking about it. Usually everything can be eligible, except some cases: duplicates, and I'm not sure what else... In this case I'd delete this one because even if it's a duplicate, it's a dupe posted by the same user.

When the list is complete, we w...
