In these two questions, there's extensive discussion in comments (in one case in an answer) on the suitability of the question. To me, this seems like a discussion to be had here on meta, and so my question is:

When such discussions start forming, should we quickly shift the discussion to meta, adding a link and strongly encouraging commenters to move their comments to the corresponding meta thread ?

    $\begingroup$ I agree. The first comments are OK, but if someone wants to argue against the first comments about closing then they should start a meta discussion and post a link to the meta discussion in the comments. $\endgroup$
