-* `type` {string} The resolution type. One of `'resolve'` or `'reject'`.
-* `promise` {Promise} The promise that resolved or rejected more than once.
-* `value` {any} The value with which the promise was either resolved or
-  rejected after the original resolve.
-
-The `'multipleResolves'` event is emitted whenever a `Promise` has been either:
-
-* Resolved more than once.
-* Rejected more than once.
-* Rejected after resolve.
-* Resolved after reject.
-
-This is useful for tracking potential errors in an application while using the
-`Promise` constructor, as multiple resolutions are silently swallowed. However,
-the occurrence of this event does not necessarily indicate an error. For
-example, [`Promise.race()`][] can trigger a `'multipleResolves'` event.
-
-Because of the unreliability of the event in cases like the
-[`Promise.race()`][] example above it has been deprecated.
