This is now status-completed. The following phrasing was adopted and is now live.
I support this as questions about making anime and manga have become few compared to recommendation questions. While "primarily opinion-based" is technically correct, I feel like it doesn't highlight well enough exactly what is opinion-based about the question. Many people coming to the site do not necessarily have experience with the Stack Exchange Q&A mentality.
I'll reiterate earlier comments I made:
- I think the "clutter" part of the close reason might not be the best, and particularly wouldn't mean anything to those asking these questions. Perhaps something like:
"Questions about watching or reading recommendations are off-topic because they tend to attract discussion and opinionated answers. For more information, see Should we allow recommendation questions?
- The only issue I take with the meta post is that the answer is not accepted, but this is not a critical issue.
And since I feel like this message is too short, here is an image of an anime character approving this post.
