I was thinking... Is there any point in adding reviews and measurments for discontinued bras? I have two, but they don't seem to be popular. One of them is Pour Moi Passion and another one is Asos Swim (I can't even find the exact model on Bratabase).

Yes, because even when the manufacturer doesn't make them they can still be around in the market (eBay, stock in many stores physical and online, Bratabase listings, selling your very own bra to someone else).
Another case could be a relaunch with a new model name, but it's really the same cut bra, if we link it here we can benefit from older data.
Also works as a standard measurement for brand/size data. So we can have info of what Asos' bras in 32E are in general.
If there are cases to be argue against useless data is for brands that make products with irreproducible codes/models. Where it is impossible to buy the same product twice because you cannot run into it again ever. Some brands have a horrible product naming/coding scheme that makes it impossible to tell someone exactly which bra you have, then that data cannot really be aggregated with another bra. There are very few brands that do this.
Also, this site grows as a database, there is lot of historic data and bra references that all other bra stores and sites have removed from their sites. So we are the last bastion with such information. All other sites will remove links to products once they aren't on sale and don't give them profit, but we hold long lived extensive data.
About your Asos bra, you could just add it by creating the new model with the tag number of adding it as unknown even. At some point we may come and look at your pics and find the right model and fix your entry. This happens a LOT very often thanks to the uploaded pics, it's a common case with Asos with lots of rotating models.
Yes it does. For all the reasons above. Discontinued models continue to circulate and any information is valuable.
