+/// ## Deprecation
+/// This rule was deprecated as using [PEP 604] syntax in `isinstance` and `issubclass` calls
+/// isn't recommended practice, and it incorrectly suggests that other typing syntaxes like [PEP 695]
+/// would be supported by `isinstance` and `issubclass`. Using the [PEP 604] syntax

 /// ## What it does
 /// Checks for uses of `isinstance` and `issubclass` that take a tuple
