Should we close questions that can be easily solved by reading the subject's Wikipedia page?

Question

I just saw this question and quite frankly I want to close it, because it can be answered by simply visiting the movie's Wikipedia page. But there isn't a close reason for "lack of research", unfortunately.

Sure, I can downvote it. But chances are some others will upvote it (people even upvote blatantly off-topic questions), and thus this low-quality question will live on. (Right now it already has two upvotes and one person has "starred" the question.)

Back in 2011 it seems there was a process to close such questions, and if I google "hitchcock suspicion original ending" the first link is the Wikipedia entry and the excerpt hints at the answer:

Suspicion (1941) is a romantic psychological thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and starring .... Hitchcock's recollection of this original ending—in his book-length interview with François Truffaut, published in English as Hitchcock/Truffaut in ...

And this isn't the only question like that, I've seen plenty recently.

Answer 1

Lack of research really isn't a close reason... it's a downvote reason.

When you hover over the downvote button, you'll see that the text reads:

This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful.

All three of those are reasons to downvote.

By contrast, none of our close reasons are "does not show research".

Some sites do have a "does not show research" close reason as one of their custom off-topic reasons but I don't think it's really necessary here.

Yes, we're not going to answer trivial questions like "who starred in ___" because that's something that Wikipedia or IMDb can answer but, as in that post from 2011, if the answer is interesting... which I think the answer to that Suspicion question would count as "interesting"... the guidance is to "answer the question".

If you don't think it's interesting, let someone else answer.
