Deletion of Biogenetic structuralism

Comment: to Charles Laughlin (or some other article mentioning this topic non-trivially), and consider preserving the article (or one of its earlier versions) somewhere outside Wikipedia mainspace. Laughlin and his colleague Eugene G. d'Aquili, who were joint authors of the original book on this theory, both seem to have h-indexes high enough for us standardly to consider them as notable by #1 in a field like anthropology, and Laughlin seems primarily known for this. In fact, the theory seems to have made quite a splash in mid-1970s anthropology but ended up as something with which other academics contrasted their own theories over the next twenty years or so rather than one they adopted themselves. But by now it seems to be regarded as only of historic interest (see https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=6nifB-DpTiYC&pg=PA160 this, for instance), and so has not been attracting much interest recently. Even so, it is quite possible (though far from certain) that someone prepared to put in the effort could produce an article acceptable by current Wikipedia standards if they looked hard through late-20th century sources and possibly more recent historical treatments. But unfortunately, this is not it. What we have here is something that would probably be regarded as a model article if Wikipedia standards had developed differently - a reasonably accessible short introduction to the theory by one of its notable originators - and would be usable as a primary source on either Laughlin or the theory if published somewhere sufficiently reliable elsewhere, but definitely does not meet current Wikipedia standards
