I would cite as an example of "too localized" the following question:
Suggestions for mathematics courses that would be essential for research in homological algebra and ring theorySuggestions for mathematics courses that would be essential for research in homological algebra and ring theory
The original post asks for information on what courses to take for a specific concentration within a specific program in a specific university drawn from the same school's course catalog. That would definitely fall under "too localized" rubric, in my opinion.
