Hi Thad,
properties can be proposed for deletion and, actually, get deleted.
However, when a property is approved there is usually a reasonable
discussion showing the potential of its application. If it can be applied
to multiple items it does not get approved.
Cheers

Curious,
I notice the listing of "Properties awaiting widespread use", possibly to
try to encourage usage, and I applaud that...but if usage never seems to
happen for whatever reason...
Do unused properties ever get deprecated after a really long time ? What
is that criteria to deprecate them ?
If that is known... it would be nice to have that mentioned in a section
here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Properties
Thanks in advance !
