@XanderHenderson Not yet able to delete. With my dv, it is at -1. But I will star the link so we can keep track of it. If it gets two more dvs, we can delete immediately, else a lit
...else, I think we can cast delete votes in another day, since it was closed yesterday.
Is somebody with a gold badge in real-analysis present? I think that math.stackexchange.com/q/3622046/42969 has been closed with a wrong duplicate target.
@MartinR All done. I have a gold badge in calculus, and reviewing the dupe and your proposed target, was in full agreement with you. I added your dupe target, and then removed the other.
@MartinR The user with the dupe hammer who chose an incorrect dupe hammer has also made a lot of errors when reviewing posts. I worry that they rush too much before taking decisive actions sometimes. Anyway, glad to help!
@XanderHenderson Indeed. While I run into questionable audits especially in the reopen queue, sometimes there is just no excuse for failing an audit, as in the case you point to, and this is always true of the suggested edit queue.
@XanderHenderson That's precisely what's needed! There are a few other obvious giveaways, such as in the reopen queue, if a question pops up appearing closed as "opinion based" the "right" response they want is "reopen", even if the question deserves to be closed!
On the other hand, it is 8 years old, and has an appropriate answer (as well as a very not-good answer).
On the basis of "standards were different back then", I voted to leave open. However, I would appreciate some discussion here on the topic of when it is appropriate to leave old questions open (there have been questions on meta in the past, but I don't feel like they ever managed to reach any kind of conclusion).
@XanderHenderson I think it should be left open. The one meaningful answer there is significantly nontrivial to suggest that there is not much more to say in the bdy of the problem that is not noise unless one has enough experience in analysis that would not have had the need to ask the question.
I see not effort, @XanderHenderson, no evidence of research to better understand. Just a one sentence PSQ.
@AndrésE.Caicedo "there is not much more to say in the bdy of the problem that is not noise unless one has enough experience in analysis that would not have had the need to ask the question." If that's the case, there's not much help offered the OP in the given answer that remains. If the OP asks such a question, they're likely not able to fully understand the only remaining answer to it. And the asker has left no indication whatsoever that they understood any of the answers.
