From this Meta SE answer:
When should I use this (not an answer) flag?
Use this flag when an answer is being used to:
Use this flag when an answer is being used to:
- Ask a new question
- Clarify the existing question
- Communicate with another user
- Say "thanks" or confirm that another posted answer worked for them
- "Bump" the question, as in "I have the same problem, have you found a solution?"
- Is not even a partial answer to the question asked
In this case the question is - "Which scripture is the source of the verse?" So, the answer should be - "the name of the scripture." The question is such that there's no scope of a partial answer here.
But, the answer given is - "But as far as I know it's not found in any scriptures.".
The translation portions are obviously added just to fill the space up, as one can not really put that one sentence as the answer.
Now, if we are "allowed" to answer like that, then we can post "As far as i know, it's not found in Mahabharata" - as an answer to this question. And it should be allowed as well.
Or for this question the answer - " AFAIK Vedas do not talk about multiple universes" should also be allowed.
But, we can not really do that.
So, my flag was justified and the answer can not stay.
