It has been requested by ZHWP users to have the ability to reject removal of some templates such as {{delete}} by the original author of that page. An article_first_contributor variable can be useful here. Technically this is similar to article_recent_contributors and is actually a little cheaper than that. I'm cloning article_recent_contributors' pattern for this.
