| Jul 27, 2016 at 13:37 | comment | added | Graipher | In addition, that specific question received (after being re-opened) one additional answer, which was non-trivial, showing what the OP actually wanted, not what he asked. | |
| Jul 27, 2016 at 13:36 | comment | added | Graipher | I agree, trival questions can have non-trival answers, and the opposite way around! | |
| Jul 27, 2016 at 13:13 | comment | added | Elder Geek | Does a trivial answer indicate a trivial question? I think not. Far better to write a non-trivial answer, no? | |

| Jul 25, 2016 at 6:27 | comment | added | thomasrutter | I think that giving the asker the ability to delete their question is against the spirit of the site. They should at most be able to vote to have it deleted - or flag it. And unless it breaks any rules it should not be. | |

| Jul 21, 2016 at 20:41 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | I don't find it acceptable. I have been there, even with non trivial answers, it is annoying when it happens. When it comes to "trivial" answers, just because one person thinks some thing is silly or easy, does not mean others will too, they should not be removed. | |

| Jul 21, 2016 at 20:05 | comment | added | guntbert | Users who delete questions may face being banned from asking questions (not on first occurrence though). | |
| Jul 21, 2016 at 19:32 | comment | added | TheWanderer | IMO, questions should never be deleted, as long as they are on topic. Even if the Q&A only helps one other person, I see it as helpful. Deleting your question because it was answered (which it sounds like what happened) is just bad practice in general. | |
