+This rule raises an issue when a deprecated Numpy alias of a built-in type is used.
+
+== Why is this an issue?
+
+In NumPy, some built-in types such as `int` have aliases in the form of `numpy.int`. However, these aliases have been deprecated and should not be used anymore.
+
+The following deprecated aliases should be replaced with their built-in alternatives:
+
+[frame=all]
+[cols="^1,^1"]
+|===
+|Deprecated name|Equivalent built-in type
+
+|numpy.bool|bool
+|numpy.int|int
+|numpy.float|float
+|numpy.complex|complex
+|numpy.object|object
+|numpy.str|str
+|numpy.long|int
+|numpy.unicode|str
+|===
+
+== How to fix it
+
+To fix this issue, make sure to replace deprecated NumPy type aliases with their corresponding built-in types.
+
+=== Code examples
+
+==== Noncompliant code example
+
+[source,python,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
+----
+import numpy as np
+def foo():
+    x = np.int(42)  # Noncompliant: deprecated type alias
+----
+
+==== Compliant solution
+
+[source,python,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
+----
+import numpy as np
+def foo():
+    x = 42  # Compliant
