Right to vanish

Right to vanish -> Courtesy vanishing. It's not a right, it's a courtesy, and the page itself makes that clear. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 17:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really love that name either, in some cases it will be done for certain causes not just out of courtesy - perhaps the generic Account vanishing? But certainly maintain all the redirects. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:41, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with account vanishing (or just vanishing since there aren't any other uses). But what you said contradicts the page itself, which says "The term is a misnomer in that it is not a "right" or guarantee but rather a courtesy extended to valued contributors who wish to leave", implying vanishing is always a courtesy. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 01:57, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I support that, Account vanishing should be good, current name "Right to vanish" is clearly misleading. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 09:21, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux and TenWhile6: Why "account vanishing" rather than just "vanishing"? * Pppery * _{it has begun} 03:39, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thats more clear imo, we are "only" vanishing the accounts. Vanishing could be a redirect. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 07:51, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What else is there that could vanish other than an account, though? * Pppery * _{it has begun} 02:34, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saw this late, but many novice contributor's are under the very mistaken belief that all mentions or references to them on pages, histories, logs, etc will be removed (i.e. "vanished"). Some mistakenly think they have some sort of special argument to "vanish" or otherwise delete content about themselves as well. — xaosflux ^Talk 12:53, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever. Filed "account vanishing" as phab:T368985. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 20:55, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The title as it is not wrong when it has the right content, at the moment I would agree that the content and subject line do not align. I would suggest that there is an overt page that expresses that there is no right to vanishing, and that there is clear direction to a page about vanishing, or whatever is the target page should be called
