Renamed user aaaa:, did you create the account with the name "Renamed user aaaa"? Or are you an existing vanished user? And please note: 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..

Justlettersandnumbers as the previous name was considered to sound too much like the name of a group, which is not permitted. I have selected a new name which is more ambiguous, as suggested.

Reason: To reflect on what my account actually is going to do, which is take photos of places in Australia and upload them to commons, "Pockypan" sounds quite silly and doesn't truly reflect on what I plan to do, I only signed up with that username because I planned to only make a few edits.

creating a new account and having your current account renamed to something random and abandoning it. Please advise. Even simpler,
