Closing as too localized is reserved for those special cases where the audience is specifically too limited. Talking about a specific country doesn't always mean too localized. Questions about my little one horse town in the middle of nowhere or on the Moon would be too localized. In summary, tagging isn't going to make a poor Q&A question a great one. The questions need to stand on their own without tags. Tags are meant for grouping, not an excuse to not close a bad question. | |
