| Jul 30, 2014 at 9:20 | comment | added | adipro | I think the question as it stands now is a good one. There are not many things to see in Oslo, especially with the little time early in the morning that the OP has. Even some of the suggested places in the answer below might need to be discarded because they might not yet be open that early in the morning. | |

Added details to my question making it more specific.

| Jul 29, 2014 at 20:43 | comment | added | Nick Stauner | Yeah, "too specific" is a much rarer problem network-wide...Definitely err on that side. Getting you what you're looking for is the primary goal, but not wasting our time taking potshots in the dark is a close second! Broad appeal to whomever else might pass through later is a somewhat more distant tertiary priority AFAIK. | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 20:28 | comment | added | Dirty-flow | @BartArondson IMHO adding more details would make the question on-topic | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 20:02 | comment | added | Saaru Lindestøkke | I realise Oslo is a big city, but I'm not asking what to do in Oslo generally (which would deserve a close), but in a limited timeslot early in the day. I'm afraid adding more details (e.g. I'm interested in ancient architecture) would make it too specific. Is there any way I can make this question more suitable for Travel.SE? | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 19:53 | comment | added | Dirty-flow | "what to see in X" is really opinion based. Oslo is not small and there are so many places worth visiting. You should be much more specific if you want your question to stay open. | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 18:42 | comment | added | Nick Stauner | Yeah, that's bizarre to me too. Basis in opinion is a factor in the WANTA debate, but your approach seems more pragmatic: "Can I see anything [short of the absolutely mundane] in Oslo with less than 4 hours, inclusive of travel to/from the airport?" as opposed to, "What would a person like me [with unspecified interests] enjoy in Oslo [within my budget / miscellaneous other constraints, all also unspecified]?" | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 18:24 | comment | added | Saaru Lindestøkke | @NickStauner Thanks for pointing the WANTA debate out. However, all close reasons are set to "primarily opinion based" not to the reason "off-topic because WANTA" (which became available as a result of the meta post you linked to). Hence I'm still at loss why there are so many close votes. | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 17:42 | comment | added | Nick Stauner | Wasn't me, but there's always the WANTA debate and its associated off-topic close-vote reason. Note two of your example questions predate this meta-question. Ideally you'd argue in favor of policy change on meta instead of testing your luck by emulating questions on the fence, but I understand you've got a personal, time-sensitive interest in your specific question, of course...Hopefully this will make good material for the debate, which could at least use more definition regarding where to draw the line. | |
