Description

[Connor Shea]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

- Visit LockedFile article (or its two subfeature articles): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileRequest

Subfeature articles:
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileRequest/onprogress
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileRequest/lockedFile


Actual results:

The articles exist and seem to document a no-longer-existant, never-implemented API.

- Note that the standard linked in the specifications section doesn't mention anything about a FileRequest API
- Note that Google doesn't bring up anything about a FileRequest web API other than these MDN articles.
- Note that the w3c GitHub org has no mention of FileRequest anywhere https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aw3c+FileRequest&type=Code


Expected results:

The FileRequest articles should be deleted.
