Why does this have its own Wiki article? Is there some other article this can be merged to? I just don't see how this concept warrants an article.

scholar.google.com lists 908 scientific articles mentioning Feedback Vertex Set; 88 have it in their title. It would be easy to fill a whole book with the results. So in my opinion, this concepts does warrant an article. --

Statement removed from main article
