| Nov 5, 2013 at 14:28 | comment | added | Pekka | I don't think this applies any more, at least not in this general way. There are some questions that have literally tens of thousands of duplicates. All they do is litter search results. | |

| Jun 5, 2013 at 14:41 | comment | added | jjnguy Mod | @gideon I'm not sure what happened to that post. The owner may have asked for it to be taken down. Or maybe they 'hard-delete' posts after a certain amount of time. | |
| Jun 5, 2013 at 2:03 | comment | added | gideon | @jjnguy hey you're right the question is deleted. I was under the impression that questions are never really deleted and always visible to 10k'ers? Has it been merged, even then think url should redirect to the merged post right? | |
| Apr 9, 2013 at 21:25 | comment | added | jjnguy Mod | @Doorknob that question no longer exists. Not sure what happened to it. | |
| Apr 9, 2013 at 20:24 | comment | added | Doorknob | So somebody undelete it! We have definitely reached a consensus | |

| Sep 27, 2010 at 13:08 | comment | added | mmyers Mod | I'm guessing it was merged before the improved merging capability was finished. | |
| Sep 21, 2010 at 12:14 | comment | added | jjnguy | @Shree, wow. Yeah. I wonder why that was deleted... | |
| Sep 21, 2010 at 5:22 | comment | added | ShreevatsaR | I'm upvoting this. Deleting duplicate questions — just deleting any user-contributed content without notifying the user — is a terrible idea. BTW, the page seems to have now been so thoroughly deleted (how?) that it's not visible even to 10kers. | |

| Mar 30, 2010 at 6:59 | history | edited | randomMod | CC BY-SA 2.5 | Much like the island of Lost, the question phases in and out of time and space. Well, not really time and/or space. But between showing here and there like a rabbit between the stew and its burrow.; Post Made Community Wiki |
| Mar 25, 2010 at 3:11 | comment | added | jjnguy | @Gnome, also, Flooding may be a bit strong of a word...The internet is huge, and the results from SO make up a tiny fraction of google's search results. | |
| Mar 24, 2010 at 21:44 | comment | added | jjnguy | @Gnome, You don't get the same results with different searches. But, with different searches, you get relevant results if the two questions are left undeleted on the site. | |
| Mar 24, 2010 at 21:17 | comment | added | Gnome | Why do you want to flood Google with essentially the same results instead of keeping one definitive question and answer for that specific problem? | |
