General Reference is not well-liked on SF.SE. Among other things, there's little agreement on what "standard Internet reference source" means. (Wikipedia is about the only widely accepted reference site.)
The most recent in-depth discussion includes an answer from Shog9 indicating that GR is likely to go away.
Another answer includes this reasoning, which makes sense to me:
Why is it not sufficient to say "if a question is trivial, boring, and demonstrates little to no research, downvote it"? Note that the hover-text for downvoting states quite clearly that a question or answer should be downvoted when it "does not show any research effort" or "it is unclear or not useful"!
Downvote it and move on!
