Should we be more active in migratintg science questions to other SEs

Question

We have a close reason:

"Questions seeking scientific solutions or explanations are off-topic unless they relate directly to a cited work of fiction. There are a number of other Stack Exchange sites dedicated to answering questions on non-fictional sciences."

However, some of the questions closed under it are very interesting and good questions for those sciences.

(A recent example: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/68808/is-atlanta-too-far-inland-and-too-far-above-sea-level-to-be-affected-by-the-come seems like a good question for Earth Science SE).

Should we, as a matter of policy, strongly consider migration for questions closed under this reason to a relevant SE (Physics, Chemistry, IT Security, Biology, Earth Science, etc...)

Obviously, all the usual rules around migration should apply ("don't migrate crap" and ask the mods of the target SE if they will accept the question).

However, within those rules, should we institute a rule that migration process should be initiated for almost all non-crappy questions closed under this VTC reason?

Answer 1

No need for any special rule, just be more active in flagging stuff that you have a legitimate reason for wanting migrated. When I say 'legitimate reason', I'm saying you're an active user on the target site, and know it fits there. There are tons of comments where people who are not active on physics.SE say, 'send this to physics' where it's obviously not on topic on physics.SE, as they don't do fictional science stuff. Most of those comments don't come with flags to raise the post to the attention of the mods, so we aren't guaranteed to see it and so we never even get the chance to consider migrating it.

Long story short, just do more flagging so mods know these posts should be migrated.

Also:

ask the mods of the target SE if they will accept the question

This isn't a thing. Hasn't been for a while. SE tells us to just go ahead and migrate stuff, and the receiving site will accept/reject the migration on their end.
