Lost where?
Wikipaedia blocks and bans people. The goal of Community Exile, in theory, is to convince someone to exercise his or her Right to Leave.

However, Wikipaedia drags the names and/or pseudonyms of blocked and/or banned users through the dirt, refusing to blank pages, generally acting like ED.
By denying blocked and/or banned users the Right to Vanish, Wikipaedia forces them to hang around in an attempt to protect their reputations. This is bad for everyone.
'You don't want people hanging around solely because they don't have the ability to vanish - such folks are only around out of the need to protect their reputation, rather than BarnRaising.'

If you show such consideration on the list, which does not have particularly high Google rankings, why should it bother you if someone asks for blocked and banned editors to be shown similar consideration on Wikipaedia, which does have very high Google rankings?
