I was thinking about the scenarios where a question might be downvoted but not closed.
For me an upvote to a question is about if I would be interested in knowing the answer.
Downvotes for questions however seem to have no real rational outside wanting the question closed.
I think however downvoted questions do draw attention to questions needing to be closed.
Is there any scenario where a questions should be downvoted but not closed
on a sidenote, it would be really interesting to know what poportion of downvoted questions are closed
Edit
Based on the help documentation question placed on hold should encourage the OP to edit the question to become more suitable. from this i take that the intention is a question which is poorly worded should be put on hold (closed) pending a suitable edit.
