Reinstate the default close reason?

Question

Since we have custom off-topic close reasons:

...we can no longer choose the default off-topic close reason:

Question

Should we add a new custom close reason that mirrors the default reason text, for the cases where none of the more specific reasons match? The text would be:

We should still prefer to use the custom reasons, or Other (explaining what is wrong), but having the default text available would be a useful time saver, and prevent people choosing a less appropriate close reason. A particular concern is that the current arrangement encourages migration when the question would be better simply closed here.

Answer 1

Yes!

Add a new custom close reason using the default close reason as a template.

Answer 2

No!

People will choose the newly-reinstated default reason every time, depriving the question author of a more detailed reason for the closure, and specific advice on what to fix.
