Recently we received this question:
Kids christian music from the 80's
which asks us to help him identify some music he remembers listening to when he was a child in the 1980's (though I can't imagine why).
I first thought that this was close to the culture/fiction topics that the community generally does not want, but I do not think that fits.
Straight up, this is simply "Identify this" questioning.
It's not necessarily a bad thing. Other SE sites have had success allowing them. English.SE has word and phrase requests. SciFi.SE has story identification requests. Gardening has plant-identification requests. They do make for interesting questions sometimes.
On the negative side, it is far from academic, which we strive to be. Allowing this would be taking the site in a direction that is less academic than it is now, but that does not mean that we have to disallow the truly academic questions.
It is currently +5/-1, indicating that the community thinks it's alright, and has no close votes. It actually has my close vote now with a comment linking to this because that will put it in the review queue and get more eyes on it.
If not, we will simply link to this for close reasons.
If yes, then we have some work ahead of us. We will need to make a few new tags and change a few of the commonly linked meta posts explaining the site to accommodate this. We will also need to lay down some rules for it, the first being that they must have a detailed, textual description, which this one currently does.
