Deletion-restriction is a fundamental tool in the theory of hyperplane
arrangements. Various important results in this field have been proved using
deletion-restriction. In this paper we use deletion-restriction to identify a
class of toric arrangements for which the cohomology algebra of the complement
is generated in degree 1. We also show that for these arrangements the
complement is formal in the sense of Sullivan.Comment: v2: typos fixed, 11 pages. Accepted for publication in Journal of
