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. —
