The main arguements against this are twofold - firstly questions of this sort are unlikely to be useful to anyone else. Its pretty close to the [textbook shopping question][1], and even if someone wanted the exact same duck toy, not trivially searchable or findable. Its also possible that a product no longer is on the market, and generally in practice this class of question is kind of useless to anyone but the OP While scifi *does* allow storyids, [they're problematic][2]. Personally I'd prefer questions to be far more than just an image and a very vague description. On superuser, and hardware ID questions, we went with a "community FAQ" with a broad set of hardware, but that wouldn't work well here either. This is *closer* to a classic product recommendation As you can tell, I'm not a fan of these sort of questions and I feel they're not a good fit for the SE model. On the other hand, questions asking for a broad class of options - like [here][3] where collars didn't quite work for the dog or here where a [broad class of breathing protection is what I suggested][4] work well because there will *always* be harnesses or N95 masks around. These are a better fit than the example question given [1]: https://stackoverflow.blog/2010/11/23/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/ [2]: https://scifi.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9335/how-to-ask-a-good-story-id-question [3]: https://pets.stackexchange.com/questions/1549/how-to-train-my-dog-to-wear-a-collar-and-not-chew-through-it/1584#1584 [4]: https://pets.stackexchange.com/questions/19584/are-there-any-good-inexpensive-methods-to-reduce-the-amount-of-litter-im-expos/19585#19585
