What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Window.setImmediate() and Window.clearImmediate() should be marked as non_standard and deprecated

1. none of major browser has finished this api (only node accomplished this api)

2. the draft standard https://w3c.github.io/setImmediate/ is no longer working on

3. it seems that chromium and firefox will not accomplish this api

What did you expect to see?

add non_standard and deprecated macros and header

also may update the browser-compat-data if needed

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

These pages and their BCD entries probably qualify for removal already.

These pages and their BCD entries probably qualify for removal already.

The criteria for removal as I understand it is "in no browser (I presume including node) for more than 2 years".

Anyway, I've created the PR for BCD here mdn/browser-compat-data#20919 - easier to get PRs evaluated than issues. When that goes in (or not) it will be clear what has to happen here for content.
