If it’s simple then it has been asked tens of times in SO

That's fine. If that's the case then mark the question as duplicate and move on. If not, it should eventually help someone else. There's no need to shut down honest questions, specially as Stack Overflow's main problem is abusive moderators who repeatedly make mistakes misclassifying questions and even completely failing to understand them.
