That particular close reason is simply a variation on ***your question is not [on-topic][1]***. As long as the motto still is: > [Server Fault is a question and answer site for professional system and network administrators.][2] That close reason can still stand. The alternative is to simply phrase it both more bluntly and generic as something along the lines: > **Questions must be [on-topic][3]** and within the site scope as decided by the [Server Fault community][4]. > Your question may be more appropriate and on-topic in one of the other [related Stack Exchange communities][5]. Possibly including a link to a recent discussion on Meta about the site scope.
