Description
## Description
The last contributor can not be removed from an edition record.
## Evidence
Removing it from the edit page behaves normally, at last visually, but contributor remains after save.

## Expectation
The last contributor should be able to be deleted as well.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the problem on the linked To Kill a Mockingbird edition record: remove its last contributor from the edit page, save, and reload. Trace the contributor save path from that edit page; the work is done when the final contributor can be removed and remains absent after saving.
