| Apr 25, 2016 at 12:24 | comment | added | user527 | Thanks, Philip. I would be more inclined with your suggestion if we didn't define the general idea here, reiterated more recently here, and closed four swimming questions on top of that. However, there is some dissension here and here that could be addressed by the result of this consensus. Therefore, we shall wait on confirmation. | |

If the Physical Fitness folks disagree with that, I'd rather keep them here than close them. I did mention this question in The Locker Room, but I don't think that room is used very much... | |
| Apr 25, 2016 at 3:56 | comment | added | user527 | Based on this analysis (which does a nice job clarifying our position), it would be appropriate to go through some running questions to place close votes based on this criteria. For whatever reason, the swimming questions were brought to our attention, close voted, and here we are with this meta post. We should treat running questions with the same attention. | |
