While reviewing close votes in review queue, this post appeared to me for review.

This question linked above has python and scrapy tags added to it. Truly speaking, I don't have any experience or domain knowledge of both of them.

However, before me, there were 4 close votes already on this post referencing to a duplicate question.

From the description of the question and title of the referenced dupe, it appears to me as well that it seems a duplicate. However, in case if there were no close votes on that question, I'm not able to find out that this post is a duplicate of another post or not...

So, following 2 factors forced me to close this question:

  1. Description of this question and title of referenced duplicate seems relevant.
  2. Significant(4) close votes are already referencing to another post.

Is it acceptable to close such a post with the scenario described above? Or I should let it go without doing anything?

Rephrased ambiguous title and removed "ethical", since it's not so much ethics as rules and guidelines
