I personally don't feel that these questions are a good fit.  Following _Writers_ lead, we have allowed subjective questions involving critiques of designs but they're supposed to involve specific criteria.  It seems that the "best representation" questions always end up being list/poll/idea-gathering questions which are discouraged.

_As a side note, I was going to close "How to portray 'lifestyle'..." as NARQ, but it had close votes on it so I assumed the community would handle it.  However, as of now it was still open with 3 close votes so I just now closed it to avoid having [broken windows](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory)._

*Edit:*

Since this answer got accepted, I should probably add a little more context:  Most "best representation" questions are too localized can't effectively be answered by the community.

For example, ["How to portray 'lifestyle'"][1] will gather different answers from people with different cultures and concepts of lifestyle - and it may likely turn out that none of the answers are useful because the target audience is still a different culture.  It's impossible to answer effectively without knowing all those details, and including such time/application-specific details the question becomes extremely localized.

On the other hand, ["New generation of Save icon..."][2] is somewhat different.  "Save" refers to a specific act that is ubiquitous in software.  The meaning of "Save" will not change between cultures and refers to a concrete action.

Even though "Save" is a better question than "Lifestyle", it's still not a good fit for this site.  Despite the core action being less culture-specific, introducing new imagery for a well-known action does rely on the culture of the target audience which brings us back to a list of subjective answers.  This is very valuable information to designers and the community at large, but it just doesn't fit with Stack Exchange's purpose of having  "practical, _answerable_ questions".
