<p>This is a problem I encounter relatively frequently when trying to tidy up the unanswered questions list.</p>

<p>Let's take this case as an example: <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/194470/what-do-my-residuals-say-about-my-data">What do my residuals say about my data?</a></p>

<p>The OP posted a relatively meaningless plot and asked for an interpretation. @Glen_b left a comment 2 years ago pointing out that there are far better plots to use, but there's been no response and the question was never edited. </p>

<p>Now that comments have been left and ignored, it seems reasonable to close. But the question is not obviously off-topic, or too broad, or unclear - it's just misguided. How should I flag it? Does the particular flag matter much in a case like this?</p>

<p>An alternative would be to strictly answer the question in the title, but such an answer wouldn't really be helpful - the main purpose would be to remove this from the unanswered questions list.</p>
