No. Please, god, no.

Closing is for questions with severe problems content-wise. If five people (or a single mod) people decide that the question is not editable into something good, we have the option to close it.

Close-voters can see exactly why other voters decided what to close a question as, and they can make their own decision.

We don't need a dedicated meta post for every question that needs closing. That would just be excessively silly and a waste of everyone's time and resources.

Now, if a post is contested by multiple people (and has a history of being closed/reopened) or users get into debates over "to close or not to close," then a metapost makes sense. But definitely not for every bad question.

No. Please, god, no.
