It certainly doesn't satisfy the GFDL.  But then again, none of the
pages on the entire website satisfy the GFDL.  The only thing that'd
satisfy the GFDL would be to create a section, ==History==, and put
the names there, along with the years, title, and publisher.  If
that's what we want to do, I'll be all for it.

If, on the other hand, the reason you don't want this deleted has
nothing to do with the GFDL, I can't help you.
