Question: There have been a few ID questions lately that boil down to a youtube link or an image. To me, these aren't of high enough quality to keep on the site. Examples:

* [what spider based movie is this scene from](https://movies.stackexchange.com/questions/10611/what-spider-based-movie-is-this-scene-from)
* [id this bollywood movie](https://movies.stackexchange.com/questions/10584/can-anyone-identify-this-bollywood-movie-circa-1980s)
* [which episode of lost girl is this gif from](https://movies.stackexchange.com/questions/7959/which-episode-is-the-tick-tick-boom-image-captured-from)(closed)

Answer: 
I find the dislike of image/video-only identify (ID) questions to be baffling. The accepted type of ID questions is way more prone to issues. A description-only ID question will have:

* Incorrectly-remembered details
* Lack of details (either vague or not-mentioned)
* Can only be properly verified by the question asker

That last one is the most damning in my opinion, and is what I think makes image/video ID questions better. It is possible to take a screenshot of a film and show that it's an exact match for the image/video in the question. It is impossible to do this with a text-only ID question. This means answers are independently verifiable as a correct or incorrect, which removes a great deal of the issues that surround ID questions as a class.
This type of question should be downvoted and closed. They all show a complete lack of research and effort on the part of the asker, and provide so little detail that they should be closed as Not Constructive. By allowing this type of question, we open the site up to all manner of vague trivia identify-this questions where the asker seeks to have a minimal amount of information linked to a correct answer.

We expect questions to show some expertise and/or effort on the part of the question asker, and because this type of question requires neither, they should be not allowed.
