How tocan I deal with pythonPython indentation related questions?

Questions like this one are caused by simple indentation issues in pythonPython. IMO, they don't bring any value to the site and have more or less the same answer. What is the correct way to deal with them? I had previously hoped that the Roomba script will remove them. But after looking at the criteria for removal it seems unlikely as this question has answers (albeit with 0 scores).

If the question is more than 30 days old, and ...

  • has −1 or lower score
  • has no answers <===
  • is not locked

... or ...

  • it was closed and migrated to a different site

...or...

  • it was migrated from a different site, and then rejected

If the question is more than 365 days old, and ...

  • has a score of 0 or less, or a score of 1 and a deleted owner
  • has no answers <===
  • is not locked
  • has view count <= the age of the question in days times 1.5
  • has 1 or 0 comments
  • isn't on a meta site

Only this case seems to apply:

If the question was closed more than 9 days ago, and ...

  • not closed as a duplicate
  • has a score of 0 or less
  • is not locked
  • has no answers with a score > 0 <==
  • has no accepted answer
  • has no pending reopen votes
  • has not been edited in the past 9 days

But this requires the question to be closed. So what is the correct way to do it?

  • Should they be closed as duplicates to some another indentation related question?
  • Should they be flagged as "Not reproducible or was caused by a typo"?
  • Should a custom moderator flag be raised explaining the problem?
  • Or is it ok to leave them as it is...? The OP receives their answer in the end.
