| Aug 10, 2017 at 7:31 | comment | added | Nij | Age is correlated with quality - an older question is more likely to be edited into good shape and have answers that were good to start with, or also fixed. But there is no age criterion, we have closed several duplicates to the newer question because it was far better, despite repeating some content, and deliberately in some cases as a.canonical question. | |

| Aug 10, 2017 at 6:27 | comment | added | Christian | @Nij: I agree with you that the duplicates should be targeted towards the best candidate. The reason for the question is that currently age is the only criterion for closing questions. I only mentioned the situation of the Hebrew proposal since currently in my opinion closing only based on age might cause problems for this proposal. | |
