I have no knowledge of the subject matter of this article, but there seems to be a protracted stealth deletion campaign going on here, accompanied by misleading overly general edit summaries. Can some of the people involved kindly explain what's going on?

Well, it's not possible to delete the article because others have also contributed to it, but mostly because all contributions to Wikipedia fall under the GNU Free Documentation License (see also Wikipedia:Copyrights)... you can see this at the very bottom of the window whenever you make an edit:

It says:

---

• All contributions to Wikipedia are released under the GNU Free Documentation License (see Project:Copyrights for details).
• If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, do not submit it.
• By submitting your work you promise you wrote it yourself, or copied it from public domain resources — this does not include most web pages.

---

This means, quite literally, that any edits that you contribute to Wikipedia don't belong to you and you can't unilaterally undo them or withdraw them.

Thanks anyway.
