Decommissioned

An object class for SCPs deliberately neutralized by the SCP Foundation. Originally, decommissioned was a meta-class for SCP that were so poorly written they were destroyed in-universe and added to an out-of-universe wall of shame. This process started in 2008, largely fell out of favor in 2009, and last occurred in 2011. The current definition was coined by SCP-4456-D, which was posted in October 2019 as a tribute of sorts to the original decommissioning process. That same month, Decommissioned was used in a similar manner in SCP-4175, replacing 4175's original neutralized class. Since then, the class has been used in SCP-5075, SCP-4659, SCP-5932, SCP-0000-EX, SCP-5398-D, SCP-5825, SCP-5363-D, and SCP-5281. (For the SCP count at the bottom of the list, I only count SCPs using the new definition).

The new Decommissioned class is also referenced in IHP's SCP-5000 proposal, specifically somewhere in this Twine file. This version is also used in SCP-001-D, a featured tale.
