::::What if the editors want the courtesy vanishing to apply to their biographical article in the wiki?  An editor blanking their page (whether it be their User: page or the biography page) has been interpreted as a 'courtesy blanking request' in the past. For example - say someone joined the CC when they were 15, and editors (and hopefully the subject as well) wrote their biography.  In as little as five years time, that 15 year old is a 20 year old, who might be applying for jobs etc, and they have noticed that they're googleable on the Creatures Wiki under their CC name - or that their CC name is their real name (because they used them interchangeably).  They might blank the article.  How might this be addressed?  --[[User:ScoobyGambit|ScoobyGambit]] 20:24, 12 October 2014 (EDT)

:If the person in question participated in the ''Creatures'' community under their real name, then I think the best course of action would be for administrators to change both the wiki username and the name present in related articles (biography and projects), remove personally identifiable material from related articles (including external links to certain pages), and use a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Revision_deletion revision deletion] feature to redact logs, page histories, and contribution histories. That would preserve information beneficial to the ''Creatures'' community while allowing the person privacy, and if they so wish a clean start. [[User:R Saiga|R Saiga]] 23:08, 12 October 2014 (EDT)
