While this gives you a list of records without the duplicates, it does not help much in deleting the duplicates. Additional code is still need to...

I am sure the code works fine, however the article implied that this is one situation where you have to use cursors - which are very inefficient if you can...

I think this is a much more efficient example for deleting duplicate rows using a single query and not having to resort to using Cursors:
