Reason: As I lost my "Totophe" username during the single-user login finalisation but I use it all over internet, I'd like to keep it as close as the original one. Thanks, Totophe

Abramx:Renamer note: Is this a
request for courtesy vanishing—meaning you intend never to edit the English Wikipedia again—or are you just wanting to abandon this account? Please note that returning after exercising courtesy vanishing may be met with automatic relinking of the new account with the old one. If you are just interested in retiring, an extended vacation, or are considering a
clean start in the future, placing {{
retired}} on your user and/or talk page(s) and abandoning the account is the better option. ···

@
Abramx: We can't delete your account, but you can request
courtesy vanishing; we can delete your userpages (If applicable) and remove most references of your old name. We can't remove your editing history or any of the edits you have made, however. You can also simply stop using your account, and/or scramble the password to a random string of characters that you can't remember so that you will not be able to log in again. —

Reason: Family stalking: I used to sign-up for pratically any website (social networks included) with the same current Wikipedia username; now it seems like some "family" member is taking the big plunge and bother all the time. I'd just like to make this username vanishing once and for all. Thank you so much for the attention and patience.
