  I've attempted to put a neutral title at the top of this page. If someone can come up with a better (i.e. more accurate and neutral) one, we can change it again. (Since press release titles about negative news tend to studiously avoid saying anything, we tend to classify them in the "misleading" bucket of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, which justifies rewriting them.)

    Perhaps replace "take down" with "withdraw" (arXiv's mechanism to deal with bad papers post-publication; what MIT calls for) or "retract" (the mechanism that traditional journals employ and similar to previous; a common term in academia). In arXiv's way of handling papers, "removal" and "withdraw" are distinct[0] and, based on some comments in this thread, current title seems to create confusion that is about the former. [0]: https://info.arxiv.org/help/withdraw.html https://info.arxiv.org/help/withdraw.html: "Articles that have been announced and made public cannot be completely removed. A withdrawal creates a new version of the paper marked as withdrawn."

  That would be contrary to HN's guidlines "please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."
