| Oct 23, 2016 at 2:53 | comment | added | user527 | There is a clear dichotomy between a research request and a trivia question. A research request is justified through little effort from the OP. A trivia question "goes beyond general reference." It has already been stated that "If you haven't found it yourself [...] then it's probably not findable by anyone on this site" is a misestimation. | |

| Oct 22, 2016 at 19:01 | comment | added | user10632 | @MichaelMyers Nope. The question is general reference and too broad. If you think you can accept those trivia questions, please post your answer. I am sick and tired of those questions on various SE sites and I just want to close and delete them. | |
| Oct 22, 2016 at 18:59 | comment | added | Michael Myers Mod | I think that's what voting is for. The tooltip for the downvote button says "This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful". If you think it is not useful, hit that button! | |
| Oct 22, 2016 at 18:56 | comment | added | user10632 | @MichaelMyers Well, there is a fine line, I agree. Do you even know what Gagarin Cup is? Do you care about which team won it and who was the youngest player in the team? Oh my God. There should be a clear line. Who was the youngest player in the 2012 Olympics? Who was the youngest player in the last World Cup? Who was the youngest player in the LA Olympics? Come on. | |
| Oct 22, 2016 at 18:54 | comment | added | Michael Myers Mod | That is also true of all rules questions, and most questions on Stack Overflow, etc. Being researchable isn't a negative in my opinion. | |
| Oct 22, 2016 at 18:50 | comment | added | user10632 | @MichaelMyers Nope. Not at all. I object to the question because the OP can find the answer himself. If the OP can't find the answer, nobody will be able to find it. | |
| Oct 22, 2016 at 18:49 | comment | added | Michael Myers Mod | You object to the question because it takes actual effort to answer? That's what this site is all about! | |
| Oct 22, 2016 at 16:46 | comment | added | Martin | The part about "total 155 questions" in the previous comment was supposed to link here: sports.stackexchange.com/help/badges/28/famous-question | |
| Oct 22, 2016 at 16:39 | comment | added | Martin | Perhaps number of views can be a rough approximation saying to which extent is a question interesting/useful for people other than the OP, And it also gives insight into how much traffic they generate (which might be relevant for a site which struggles to attract users). Current stats - as afar as I can say - seem like this: 10k+ views: 9 trivia questions out of [total 155 questions], 2,5k+ views: 33/481, 1k+ views: 63/870. | |
