Research direction

Start by reviewing samples/plus, docs/pagination.md, and samples/appengine/main.py, which the issue identifies as containing Google+ references. Search the samples and documentation for references to removed APIs, then remove or update stale references; done means the identified obsolete API references no longer remain.

Description

samples type: docs

Issue #2646 was closed due to inactivity with a note saying "re-open if you think this still requires attention". It still requires attention, but no permission to reopen to issue. (Which seems like a rude combination.)


Was looking through stuff and discovered that there are still references to Google+:

https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/tree/main/samples/plus

https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/blob/8b109032b71ca0b95b106af3ce470b7193d73148/docs/pagination.md?plain=1#L7

Seeing references to removed APIs immediately makes me question the correctness of everything in this repository.
