Example of a minor-key rock song that ends with a ii∅7-V-i cadence
This question was just closed as too broad. I don't get why. I am just limiting to an example of a rock song that cadences iiø7-V-i.
Why was it closed?

@Bebs I voted to close the recent question How to delete an Artists from the Spotify library? as off-topic following your vote to close, since the question seems to be more about Spotify support than about music appreciation (broadly speaking).
The first one seems on-topic to me—it's more like a question about using a piece of technology to improve one's listening experience than a support question for the app. The second is already closed as opinion-based.

But the third one ought to be closed, imo. It too reads like a support question for the Spotify app, like the one recently asked about deleting artists from the library. So, I've voted to close it as off-topic for this reason.

I thought it would be good to pre-emptively list my thoughts about the other Spotify questions, hence the above messages.
I "clean" unanswered off-topic questions this way, sometimes, without flagging or asking for closure

@Bebs Me too

Btw, since the recent network-wide change in the close reasons list, it looks like the "Needs details or clarity" close reason works just as well for ID questions that lack info as our custom close reason for such questions. What do you think?
indeed both reasons can apply sometimes, but the standard Needs details or clarity seems to be for an unclear question, when you don't even understand what OP wants
I don't see the word detail in the sense we use it for detailed ID questions
it's just splitting hairs :)

We rarely receive such hopelessly unclear questions, though, isn't it? It makes that close reason itself quite redundant for us.

On Math.SE for instance, there are loads of questions where one has literally no idea what the OP is asking. (I think a technical stack tends to receive more such questions. . .)
yes indeed, but we still need Needs details or clarity as it's standard for SE

@Bebs That's right. I was just thinking of other ways to make our close reasons more streamlined, along with the proposal to add a new one for YAL ID questions.
We regularly receive questions asking to identify songs used as soundtracks in YouTube videos. This Q&A posted on our Meta nearly a year ago explain very well the reasons for why such questions should be considered off-topic on our site. Considering the upvotes on that proposal, it's a good idea ...
Please give the community time to process and give feedback. I gave it the featured flag so everyone should be able to see it.

@Bebs I was browsing SEDE to see if there were any queries to find closed questions sorted by close reason, and I found this interesting query: data.stackexchange.com/musicfans/query/552453/…

Although, I don't know, you might have access to similar results already from the 5k privilege?
I was just going through some FAQs on Meta SE and I came across the following: the FAQ for tagging suggests that "all good synonyms should eventually be merged." Are the mods of the same opinion? @Donald.McLean
