My preference is that (1) you not delete it, even if it gets downvoted (2) you don’t have a copy of the whole essay here. (1) is the more important thing, the point being to preserve whatever discussion takes place.
All the comments at this moment are meta (whether it was or wasn’t okay to post this here, and whether it should be upvoted or downvotes or deleted), nothing about the article. So if you deleted this article with the comments, nothing of value would be lost.
Furthermore, the fact that no one discusses the article itself is a weak evidence against it belonging here.

to clarify, now that there are substantive comments other than “this doesn’t belong on lw”, I wouldn’t delete.
