Purpose
Use to mark an external hyperlink for which there may be a valid replacement or available archived version as being dead, but when the determination requires additional or extensive research.

Preferable to outright removal of links when there is doubt about possible future usefulness or when the link forms part of a reference (referenced works should not be removed simply because the links are dead, in order to maintain encyclopedic integrity - such works could additionally exist in print or on microfilm, for example).
