user274: Back in private beta, we discussed a proposal on whether we should allow a limited set of "resource" posts to be available, just like meta JLU's. StackOverflow has some as well. The purpose of these resource posts is twofold: to help users find useful resources that other community members use, and also to allow us to redirect people who ask disallowed questions (like recommendations) to resources where those are valid.
The proposal was never discussed thoroughly nor concluded, but it is one that should be decided upon by the community. Thus, I've set up this poll so that the community can have a say in how this will be handled. There are three options:
Option 1: Allow the posts on Meta

The posts will be allowed on the meta Anime & Manga site.
These posts will be locked or wiki'd and protected (depending on context).
Users who ask questions which are covered by the resources will have questions closed as usual, then get a comment linking them to said post.

Option 2: Allow the posts on Main

The posts will be allowed on the main Q&A portion of the Anime & Manga site.
These posts will be locked or wiki'd and protected (depending on context).
Users who ask questions which are covered by the resources will have questions closed as a duplicate of the resource question.

Option 3: Disallow the posts

There will be no resource posts allowed on Meta or Main.
