Unqualified to delete line, article gets zero change? (3,1,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

not a bean

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'zero change?' is the definition.
'not a bean' can be an answer for 'zero' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'change?' bit.

'unqualified to delete line article' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'article' could be 'an' (indefinite article) and 'an' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'gets' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for not a bean that I've seen before include "zero cash" , "No money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
