I'm deliberately reopening this (see [Should a clear lack of research be grounds for closing a question?](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/102811/should-a-clear-lack-of-research-be-grounds-for-closing-a-question) and links from there). Often I want to vote to close a question by a newbie on the grounds that this is basic info that's right there in the docs or easy to find answered (probably on Stackoverflow) by googling, and s/he clearly has done no research whatever. Wouldn't it be good if "lack of research" was one of the radio button options? I request this formally as an option. I do *not* agree that "not a real question" covers this communicatively.
