+# Rule adding suggestion - Decision
+
+### Rule summary
+
+|             | Value |
+| ----------- |------------------------------------------------|
+| Title       | IDE0005 Remove unnecessary using directives |
+| CheckId     | IDE0005 |
+| Category    | Style |
+| Link        | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fundamentals/code-analysis/style-rules/ide0005 |
+
+### What is the problem
+This rule detects unused usings which can simply be removed. This rule is currently not a part of our coding rules and it should be.
+
+### Decision
+
+We update the `root/.editorconfig` with `severity = warning` and a doc-link.
+
+### Reason & arguments
+
+* This rule detects code that can be removed and no code is better than no code - see dissuction in [Issue #74](https://github.com/atc-net/atc-coding-rules/issues/74).
