I think closure is appropriate for this question. Even if the question was clearly stated, it would be most appropriate for math.stackexchange.com.
What's the argument for re-opening? The question has already been answered, and in any case it's not a research-level question so it would make more sense on MSE.
While I do not vote to close anymore myself, I would still like to go on record as saying that this seems like a prime example of a question that should be sent to math.SE.
AFAIK, on the reals measurable is not minimal, (at least) majorizabilty [or minorabilty] on a set of positive measure by a measurable function suffices.
Closed questions with substantive answers are generally not deleted.
@bsteinberg: You are asking us to make a false choice: that a question must either be kept open or deleted. There are criteria for deleting that are quite different from closing.
@Ryan: I agree. Some questions should be closed but not deleted. But there are some trigger-happy deleters who need to be convinced of this.
@geraldedgar: in my opinion such a general statement is unhelpful in particular when referring to something most users cannot oversee themselves. In addition, even for me, knowing who deletes what, it is quite unclear what you want to express in particular in this context.
@bsteinberg: but it seems to me almost always at least the first vote to delete is cast either essentially immediatelly (as soon as possible) or never; if the question is off the recent close list, which happens rather quickly, (and not on the voted to delete list) who should pay any attention to it. It would have to be a coincidence someone happens to stumble over it later.
By the way, I found the Q&A you must refer to; it is still around. I think what you did then, leaving a comment against deletion, is a good way to proceed in such a case.
As Bill said, questions with substantive answers are not to be deleted unless there are egregious circumstances. If you are aware of a question with substantive answer that has been deleted, let the moderators know.
No if the delay is that large my argument does not apply (I'd say 35 days is about the max for it; 2+a little for the first, then 30days on the delete-votes lists). Perhaps 'almost always' was an exageration; I reduce it to 'mainly'. Yet, I agree, there is certainly a risk of oversights for deletetion. For me, because as opposed to closure (for the most part), I do it (when I do it, not so much lately) mainly following a list of question were this (ie, possibly delete them) is the point of looking at them, and not by navigating to the question for another motivation.
