I thought this was something used in Japanese, but it seems it is terminology used in electronics. Now should i delete my question because the answer reveals that the question was about somethign that probably won't help other people or leave it because when i made i thought it was a valid japanese question?
This can also apply going forward, when answers reveal that the question was too localized.
Unfortunately, in this case I have to disagree with Axioplase. While we are indeed in beta and activity is good, activity for activity's sake alone is not. Keeping the question around pollutes the pool of questions on the site, which are generally meant to be helpful and/or interesting to the people reading them. As this is a site which is about the Japanese language, I am of the opinion that this particular should probably be deleted -- as it is not really about Japanese at all.
Of course, I don't think this does or should reflect poorly on Mark, either. This is a mistake that anybody could make.
It's also worth noting again that the question was closed for being off topic rather than too localized...
Well, it has been answered anyway, and, for the moment, it makes activity on the site (which is still in beta). So, let's keep it; you didn't know it was too localised (even though a quick google may have told you that it was).
I do not think that you have to delete it. It has already been closed as off topic, and it will not float up on the list of questions unless the question or the answer is edited. It seems to me that whether you delete it or not makes little difference.
If you want to delete it, that is also fine, but I do not know if an asker can delete a question after it was answered and closed.
