- * Applies NIP-09 (kind 5) deletion requests to local MySQL articles and magazine 30040 cache.
+ * Applies NIP-09 (kind 5) deletion requests to:
+ * - MySQL: long-form articles ({@see KindsEnum::LONGFORM} 30023, {@see KindsEnum::LONGFORM_DRAFT} 30024)
+ * - Magazine cache: publication indices ({@see KindsEnum::PUBLICATION_INDEX} 30040) in {@see MagazineIndexStore}
+ *
+ * Both are handled for `e` tags (with `k` when present) and for NIP-33 `a` tags.
  *
  * Relays are not authoritative; we only remove data we can validate (same pubkey as deletion request).
  * For cached 30040 category indices (keyed by `d` only), we require the stored event’s author
