I voted to close that question because it was not clear what they meant by 'simple' and 'complex' enums. These terms have ambiguous meanings. 'Simple/complex in what regard?' I thought.

However, the question has since been edited to include examples and clarity after I cast my vote, and have since retracted.

Questions that include ambiguous or unclear terms should try their best to elaborate as to what they mean. Try to ask for clarification in the comments first, andbut if they cannot be understood, then they should be closed as lacking clarity. That is the purpose of the 'Needs details or clarity' close reason.
