@Szabolcs I agree on articulating a detailed picture on what it's ideal, acceptable or motive for closure. I agree that attaching notebooks or links to extensive code is never aceptable. However, I think that attaching data should be allowed in special cases when it's hard to create synthetic data that reproduces an issue.

I like this idea to leave the data in the question above most others.

Q: Strategies for lengthy answers and questions (like this one)

Concerning answers TL;DR : It would be interesting to have a template/format/guidelines for presenting lengthy answers. From my tiny database of answers I have read, my impression is that the answers at the top tend to be those that have the least amount of code or text. This is not true for some...

@rhermans Most data files that people post could be reduced to something much smaller. In some cases minimizing the data brings more than just convenience for those who might answer. Think of graphs: if it's small enough that you can look at it, it's much easier to analyse the problem.
