It is time we reevaluate the custom offtopic reasons that Drupal Answers is using. Right now, we have the default close reason:

This question does not appear to be about Drupal within the scope defined in the help center.

and two custom ones:

Questions on programming, PHP, SQL, etc. that do not relate directly to Drupal are off-topic here, but can be asked on Stack Overflow.

and

This question was caused by a problem that can no longer be reproduced, was solved by a cache clear, or was a simple typographical error. While similar questions may be on-topic here, this one was resolved in a manner unlikely to help future readers.

The system is showing two deactivated ones. One fixes some grammar in a current one, and this was retired because it was being misapplied a lot:

Questions asking to recommend or find a book, tool, module, theme, distribution, tutorial, or other off-site resource are off-topic for Drupal Answers as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.

We can have three custom close reasons. Based on the questions that we are seeing, what would be three good reasons?

Please post one reason per answer w/ justification, and vote up/down. Based on votes, we can figure out next steps.
