Does empty examples need to be removed from the examples folder?

[Sahil4883]

I discovered a few examples in the examples folder where there is just a readme file with the repository link for a library doc and nothing else, such as auth-with-stytch. Since these examples lack practical example of how to use a library, I wanted to know if they should be removed and also there's no mention in the contribution guidelines about not to commit empty examples with only readme file in it

This example was added by a core maintainer of auth-with-stych, about three years ago, however, it hadn't been maintained, so it was decided to instead link to the library documentation, dd98e77

Since it is unknown whether anyone uses these, or not, and to keep some kind of knowledge base between Next.js and Stych, I think this should be left, as it is.

Thanks for this detailed Info
I'm wondering if all of the examples should be kept like way?

[icyJoseph]

I guess it depends on a per-example case, but typically, one could assume that people bookmark some of those, and then coming back to a 404, is not particularly helpful. One could also argue that, frameworks and such, should have a "how to use with Next.js" within their guide, in case it is not immediately obvious how to.

Which other examples are empty?
