The question https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/q/159369/67524 is marked as a duplicate, however the duplicate link returns 404.

What is the appropriate action going forward here?

  • Should the question be closed?
  • Should the question be removed in its entirety?

I feel like this creates a bad impression of members and visitors looking for this information.

I did see Are you guys turning P.SE into a 404 black hole? which seems to address a larger issue, but I would like to focus on this question in particular here.

The original question was written by the same guy. Their first question got closed as "not constructive" (Too Broad, essentially), so he decided to re-ask it on Stack Overflow, where it promptly got migrated to Programmers and closed as a duplicate.

So not much to see here, really.

In the future, just flag for moderator attention with a custom reason, and explain the problem. No need for a meta post on every one of these. I've already flagged the question in question.
