Closed question stats - June 2013

Since we don't have that many questions, I decided to take a couple hours of my time and put together some stats on close reasons.


Close reasons as of June 2013

  
     close reason                  not deleted      deleted         total

     migrated (to anime)           0                1               1 (0.0%)
                               
     totals                        153              88              241 (7.8%)
  

The percents are out of all 3097 questions on the main site. That number includes deleted questions.


Samples of TL and OT usage to date

Since too localized is going away, and since custom off-topic reasons are intended to fill that gap, I thought it'd be nice to look at how we're currently using both close reasons. So, I made some lists. Since they're sorted numerically, items toward the end of the list are more recent. (Questions in code have been deleted, so if you have less than 2000 reputation, you won't be able to see them.)

As a reminder, we have a meta question for discussing custom close reasons here.
