Due to the fact that Wikipedia content is licensed under the GFDL, all edits must be kept for attribution purposes, and so your account cannot be deleted. You do, however, have the right to vanish, which you can exercise by (1) requesting your user page (found at Special:Mypage) and/or user talk page (found at Special:Mytalk) be deleted, by adding the {{db-userreq}} template to them; (2) requesting to change your username to something that is unconnected with you (possibly a random collection of letters and numbers); (3) never logging in to your account again. If you do this, you may no register a new username to continue editing Wikipedia as invoking your right to vanish is final.

Usage
- You must subst this template by typing
{{subst:Vanish|user}}instead of{{Vanish|user}}. - The resulting text includes no indents, so do not forget to insert a colon (:) before transcluding the template:
:{{subst:Vanish}}and not just{{subst:Vanish}}. - The resulting text also does not include a signature, so sign your message as normal using the four tildes.
