Remove text if duplicate

I have a div which basically looks like this:

<div class="wrapper">

<img src="#" />

<a href="#" class="link"> SomeText </a>

<a href="#" class="provider"> SomeText </a>

<div class="description">Text Text Text</div>

</div>

As you can see the text within .provider is the same as in .link My question is: How do I remove the whole div (.wrapper) if there is such a duplicate of text? Please note the text is not set, it could be anything, so therefore its a var:

var text = $('.provider').text();

$('.wrapper a:contains(text)').remove();

This is one of my many attempt with no luck.

var text = $('.provider').text();

$('.wrapper a:contains('+text+')').parent().remove();​​​​​​​

may be this one.

$('.wrapper').filter(function(){
    var a = $('a.link', this).text(), b = $('a.provider', this).text();
    return $.trim(a) === $.trim(b)
}).remove()

this should do the job:

$('div.wrapper').each(function() {
    if($('.link', this).text() == $('.provider', this).text())
        $(this).remove();
});​
