General reference question close reason:

General reference questions are off topic here. This question asks for a generic description of a common disease or requests a generic list of treatment options. Such information is already available on a variety of easily located internet resources. Questions here should be focused and should reflect basic research that you have already done. For more information, see this meta post.

Example: This was inspired by the question:

http://health.stackexchange.com/q/641/165

It is meant to encompass anything asking, “What treatments are available for X disease?"

On further reflection, to the extent that they are inappropriate (common diseases, many available treatments, gads of relevant research), most of these can probably be closed as “too broad.”
