PSQ

@XanderHenderson Asked the same question there as you did, but yours is more enjoyable! Indeed it is a PSQ and I voted accordingly.

Oh, hey. That was your comment!

I saw the comment, but I almost never notice the name attached to comments.

Faust got all pissy in my direction in the Mathematics chat the day before yesterday because once, a month ago, I voted to close a question he posted.

He figured that we are friends, so I should not vote to close his questions :\

I'd like to close this Question ith root of a complex number as a duplicate of one of the posts asking about $i^i$, but I didn't spot one in a quick search. It seems like it ought to be covered by an abstract duplicate entry.

@hardmath I'm all for having a good abstract dupe target for similar questions, but I feel like that one can be closed as "lacking context" without much need to overthink it

Old PSQ

@amWhy Thanks!

@XanderHenderson The asker has just added the missing context.

@XanderHenderson We can all agree, if "we" does not include cranks and their fans. =)

Why does this have an upvote?!

and two answers in 5 minutes... crimminy

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Mostly non-Latin answer: Partial derivative in gradient descent for two variables by Ana on math.SE

PSQ (one of three this asker posted in one hour) should be considered for closure.

Another PSQ should be considered for closure.

Now open for deletion, as is the sole answer

This question needs to be closed asap

@XanderHenderson, @user21820, @Did, please see the question I link immediately above.

@DanielFischer You're welcome too, to vote to close the question I last linked: 7 questions in all, no effort from the asker...

PSQ, I've been trying to get the OP to make an effort for a day now, but I'm done trying

Note this repost of the question I last linked to. The account from which that question (linked above) was deleted; now we have the first part reasked: math.stackexchange.com/questions/2709308/…

Wow... that was quickly deleted (my most recently linked question.)

@XanderHenderson I've cast a vote to close it. No one can say you didn't extend patience and time to help the asker move forward. It is a rather bitter pill to swallow that despite such patience and hints and suggestions, some askers will not lift a finger, and are simply waiting (here, in vain) for someone to "do their work for them."

Here's an answer with 4 recommended deletions, 1 delete vote,, given today, to a question asked and answered nearly four years ago.

ugh... people suck

That answer has now been downvoted, so one can vote to delete the question where it's posted and not just form the review queue.

@XanderHenderson Yeah, but they can try and suck less! :P

This question is pretty amazing in that it received abundant upvotes, but every one of 10 attempts to answer the question have been deleted.

The pity upvoter strikes again!

@amWhy I can't see deleted answers :(

but in another 51 XPs, I think I can!

@XanderHenderson I'll get to this first thing in 1 hour, 36 minutes!

heh

The following can now be deleted: 1, 2, and 3
