It's the hidden from non-admins part that is a problem. If you did any significant editing, the discussions on your talk page could be of interest to other editors even after you leave. It could be tagged as belonging to a left user, it can be protected from trolls, and it might even be blankable, but it cannot be deleted.

An administrator, CHAIRBOY, has accused me on User:XP of being some banned user. I have no interest, having seen the prolonged wars that can develop from these things, of participating further in Wikipedia. However, I choose to exercise my right to vanish and specifically requested that my talk page be blanked, protected, and hidden from non-admins. However, this administrator has now twice reverted me on my own talk page, including with use of the admin revert tool--which, as far as I know, is a violation.
Why am I not allowed to blank and vacate my own talk page, and have it protected afterwards to keep troll comments off of it? This CHAIRBOY individual has taken ownership of my talk page.
