+An override of a method that delegates its implementation to the super method is
+redudant, and can be removed.
+
+For example, the `equals` method in the following class implementation can be
+deleted.

+```java
+class Test {
+  @Override
+  public boolean equals(Object o) {
+    return super.equals(o);
+  }
+}
