What makes the family holiday gatherings question too broad?

I haven't seen the entire history of comments and close votes. However, without passing judgment on whether the question is too broad, I do see how people would see it as broad. My overall ...

Can the question about using the word "queer" be reopened, after a quick edit?

I would be inclined to say that the question should be deleted, because salvaging it requires changing it completely. I think we're all on the same page so far, in that if they had perhaps asked the ...

Is this post salvageable for re-opening (the one about killing insects)?

As I said in a comment, I think that "How can I persuade people that I'm right and they're wrong" questions should be off-topic, regardless of the opinion. Your edit in its current form is much ...

Can the question about using the word "queer" be reopened, after a quick edit?

I say that because I saw a comment on a previous answer before I saw the question. Good, I didn't have that info. The question asker seemed to have a legitimate issue with a word being applied ...

Should we undelete and reopen this one?

The problem is not that the OP is asking for something she shouldn't do, but that her question is too broad to be answerable. She is not asking how to deal with a sister-in-law she dislikes in this or ...

Intrapersonal problem which interferes with interpersonal relationship: on-topic?
