Further to Michael's recent question and since I couldn't quickly find information on rejecting migrations from SO^H^H other sites...
How do you reject a migration and what happens when you do it?

A question that is migrated to another site is rejected by that site if:
- it gets deleted
- it's closed as Not Constructive, NARQ, Too Localized, or generic Off-Topic
To reject a question that's been migrated here, you should vote to close for one of the reasons listed above.
When a question is rejected:
- it's unlocked (but not reopened) on the source site
- any answers that were deleted as part of the migration are undeleted on the source site
- all migrated answers are deleted on the destination site
- the migrated question and any answers received on the destination site are locked on the destination site
I can't find a definitive reference, but there are a few mentions of rejected migrations being deleted on the site they had been migrated to. (After 30 days?)

That covers what happens during and after a migration but you completely failed to answer the main part of the question - "How do you reject a migration?" Commented Oct 8, 2012 at 10:43

?? The first sentence and the two bullet points cover that. You reject a migrated question by closing it for one of those reasons. If it gets closed as a duplicate, e.g. that's not a rejection.– Ward - Trying Codidact ModCommented Oct 8, 2012 at 15:23

"is considered to be rejected" isn't the same as "how do I reject". I was attracted to the question in the hope that I might somehow be able to reject all that crap that comes over from SO. I didn't think it was possible but nevertheless the question title gave me hope. Extremely misleading. Commented Oct 8, 2012 at 22:00

Ok, I took out "considered to be" and clarified that you have to vote to help reject a question.– Ward - Trying Codidact ModCommented Oct 9, 2012 at 1:13
