Dec 1, 2015 at 20:57 comment added user13451 Do you expect an unregistered user (or even registered) who hasn't been back to the site in over a month and left a one sentence answer to come back and improve it? Or does leaving that post there encourage another unregistered (or registered) new user to leave another one sentence answer?
Dec 1, 2015 at 18:22 comment added MikeW Mod Edited "not really addressing the question" to "not fully addressing the question". An answer that doesn't answer the question ought to be flagged. In most cases there is an attempt to answer the question but it falls short, and I think a comment is more appropriate to allow them to improve their answer.

Dec 1, 2015 at 17:04 comment added user13451 ... so, what does an 'unsalvageable' answer mean? Should one recommending deleting the post when the answer it is "You can buy an adapter, but you will lose auto focus and aperture control." and other posts in the question (or linked question) say that much better? A rambling non-answer (related photo.stackexchange.com/review/low-quality-posts/33287 ) leads to more forum-like behavior from users - commenting on one post or another, but not providing an answer to it. - from help/deleted -answers "Answers that do not fundamentally answer the question may be removed"

Dec 1, 2015 at 4:16 comment added user13451 In the low quality posts review queue, questions show the close. It is only answers that have the 'delete' or 'recommend delete' option. You can verify this yourself by going to photo.stackexchange.com/review/low-quality-posts/history and seeing if there are any 'Recommend Deletion' or 'Deletion' reviews done on questions. I would also point out that down vote is not an option available for completion of the low quality review post. I would encourage you to try doing a few LQP reviews on Stack Overflow to see what the available options for a user are.
