4-4: Consider sentence-style capitalization in the title.

Microsoft Style recommends sentence-style capitalization for headings. You could use:

title: "The media player standby state is deprecated"

Leaving STANDBY in all caps is fine if preserving the exact constant is important.


7-8: Tighten wording and switch to an imperative tone.

Docs guidelines favor a direct, authoritative style. Dropping “has been” and “should” makes the text crisper and aligns with the instruction style used elsewhere.

-The media player state `MediaPlayerState.STANDBY` has been deprecated as decided in [home-assistant/architecture#799](https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/discussions/799) and will be removed in Home Assistant Core 2026.8.
