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 duplicate 48 8 56 (1.8%) off topic 17 8 25 (0.8%) not constructive 14 3 17 (0.6%) not a real question 56 28 84 (2.7%) too localized 18 20 38 (1.2%) migrated (to meta) 0 18 18 (0.5%) migrated (to superuser) 0 2 2 (0.1%) migrated (to anime) 0 1 1 (0.0%) totals 153 88 241 (7.8%) <sup>The percents are out of all 3097 questions on the main site. That number includes deleted questions.</sup> ---- # 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.)* - The following questions were ***selected randomly***: - Closed as OT: [638](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/638) [1375](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/1375) [2015](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/2015) [`2384`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/2384) [2852](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/2852) [3405](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/3405) [3795](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/3795) [`4322`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/4322) [`5478`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/5478) [`5542`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/5542) [`5815`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/5815) [6174](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6174) [`6381`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6381) [`6539`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6539) [8311](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/8311) [9616](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/9616) [11034](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11034) [`11081`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11081) [12047](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12047) [12121](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12121) - Closed as TL: [2176](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/2176) [`2942`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/2942) [3700](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/3700) [4557](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/4557) [`4629`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/4629) [`4734`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/4734) [`4756`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/4756) [`6048`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6048) [6212](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6212) [`6448`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6448) [`6882`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6882) [`6898`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6898) [9782](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/9782) [11055](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11055) [11248](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11248) [`11609`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11609) [11920](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11920) [11922](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11922) [`12021`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12021) [12082](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12082) - And the following questions are the twenty ***most recent***: - Closed as OT: [9655](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/9655) [`9686`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/9686) [11034](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11034) [11059](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11059) [`11081`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11081) [11086](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11086) [`11173`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11173) [11196](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11196) [`11220`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11220) [11344](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11344) [`11349`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11349) [`11439`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11439) [`11491`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11491) [`11494`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11494) [`11556`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11556) [11620](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11620) [12025](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12025) [12047](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12047) [12069](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12069) [12121](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12121) - Closed as TL: [`6448`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6448) [`6516`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6516) [6552](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6552) [`6882`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6882) [`6898`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/6898) [9652](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/9652) [9782](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/9782) [11055](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11055) [`11118`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11118) [11248](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11248) [`11311`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11311) [`11372`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11372) [`11609`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11609) [`11610`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11610) [11695](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11695) [11920](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11920) [11922](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11922) [`12021`](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12021) [12063](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12063) [12082](http://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12082) As a reminder, we have a meta question for discussing custom close reasons [here](http://meta.japanese.stackexchange.com/q/1043/1478).
