Here follows a list of all the reasons why an answer might be deleted: ---------- # The answer is a "try this" solution... ... without (enough) explanation on *why* should one try the solution. We [require](https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2003/) that answers provide some sort of explanation for why they are suggesting a solution. If an answer isn't properly backed-up, it will be deleted. -------------------- # The answer does not provide any backup We [require](https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3583/21067) answers here to be back up by either personal experience or external sources. An answer that doesn't provide those things or is too vague/not details enough about the backup will be deleted. --------------- # The answer is a bad frame-challenge... ... that doesn't respect the premise of the question, meaning that it doesn't give to OP a way to achieve what they want to achieve. Even though a frame-challenge is okay, a bad one isn't. We require answers to [respect the OP's request](https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/a/3268/) and answer the actual question asked. -------------------- # The answer is a duplicate of an older answer Answers that repeat ideas that were already posted in previous answers are considered duplicates, and [should be deleted](https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1504/). Instead, users should upvote answers they agree with, and potentially suggest improvements if the additional information is minor. -------------------- # The answer isn't about interpersonal skills Answers that don't provide an interpersonal solution are off-topic here and [should be deleted](https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1471). ------------ # The answer doesn't answer the question Answers that are explaining a situation instead of giving a solution or are giving a solution to *different* problems [should be deleted](https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/a/1385/).
