1I wasn't one of the close-voters, but I would have marked it as a dupe of Plans for more sequels to Star Wars?– phantom42Commented Oct 24, 2013 at 15:16

Maybe because the OP didn't bother to try and Google the information?– Jack B NimbleCommented Oct 24, 2013 at 15:20

2@JackBNimble When we got rid of 'General Reference', 'you didn't google this' ceased to be a valid close reason.– user1027Commented Oct 24, 2013 at 15:23

1The answer's in the question, that turns it into a statement. The FAQ also says "Facts easily found on a reference site" are off-topic; that sounds like "you didn't Google this" to me.– Matthew ReadCommented Oct 24, 2013 at 15:26

2@MatthewRead Looks like we need to update the FAQ there. That's from when we had General Reference/Too Localized.– user1027Commented Oct 24, 2013 at 15:28

I wasn't sure what to do here when I saw it on hold, because it really is a dupe, as @phantom42 said. Surely I don't vote to reopen to then vote to close as a dupe? Even though the close reason isn't really right?– Tony MeyerCommented Oct 24, 2013 at 18:58

@TonyMeyer & phantom42 Can one of you post an answer that basically says 'this should be closed as a dupe'? I can mark that as answer and take care of fixing the question's close reason myself.– user1027Commented Oct 24, 2013 at 19:02

IIRC, I VTCed, or considered to doso, as "Real life, not SciFi related" - mostly, because it seemed like a troll. But upon reading this Q, I think I was wrong to VTC for that. Good catch.– DVK-on-Ahch-ToCommented Oct 25, 2013 at 9:12

While there is no longer a general reference/too localized close reason, the question is a dupe of Plans for more sequels to Star Wars? .
