Doing some shopping and browsing and I have come across a few items that say
they are scheduled to be deleted from catalog. I’m curious if that mean removed
so I can no longer find/buy that piece and if that’s true then how would you
go about obtaining it? Also why would any piece be removed from the catalog?
Perhaps I’m not understanding the why behind it. Can someone explain to me please

There is often a note on the item's catalog page that explains why it is
being deleted.

Sometimes it is because a part's entry has been split into new entries for
different variants of the part. If that is the case, then you should see links
to those variants in the "similar parts" section of the catalog page. That's
where you can buy the parts.

Sometimes it is because the item was listed in error.

Sometimes it is because a Bricklink admin just decided it should be deleted.
