Thanks for reporting this. We typically defer to BCD guidelines for removing obsolete data (to avoid duplicating policies and conversations around these rules). A feature or technology is a candidate for removal if:

a feature was implemented and has since been removed from all browsers dating back two or more years ago

which matches this case, so I think removal of both of these pages is acceptable.

edit: actually it appears we've had this conversation before and it was decided to keep the pages:

• Unlink BCD from menuitem element #24927

See #24886 (comment)

I've opened a Discussion about this removal here: https://github.com/orgs/mdn/discussions/668

@Akindin there's no opposition in the linked discussion to removing the pages, so it looks fine to proceed with deletions like #24886. Do you want to do this or do you want to leave it to someone else?
