Is it ok to ask Moderators to delete off-topic questions?

I flagged an old question which I believe to be off-topic asking for it to be deleted. Since this is not something that I can perform myself I deemed it to be a valid reason for moderator flag. If I voted to close this myself, my vote would probably have expired. The close vote review queue is usually not handling any old questions. Besides, the result I wanted to achieve would not be achieved just by closing the question. I would need to find 2-4 more people willing to help me delete this and the whole process would take more than 2 days.

The flag got declined with a custom reason:

Using standard flags helps us prioritize problems and resolve them faster. Please familiarize yourself with the list of standard flags: see What is Flagging?

What should I have done in this situation? There is no flag for "Please delete the question because it is off-topic"
