This query aims to identify borderline questions to the RemoveDeadQuestions script (https://meta.stackexchange.com/help/roomba); i.e., questions older than 30 days, with no answers, not locked, and score equal to zero (one vote missing to -1 which is the last criterium needed for deletion). The query will also filter questions from inactive OPs ('n' days or more), such posts are more likely to be abandoned and/or being of low quality. Tweak (by forking the query) the optional conditions in the WHERE clause to narrow or broaden the search scope. In summary, a downvote will target questions for deletion. An upvote will push them away. If upvoting, try also editing the question for quality/readability. Posting a valuable answer would be even better.
