Yes, this would be useful for cases where the name contains private information or other suppressable material according to policy. Thanks.

We're running from time to time into cases that requires this feature. Could some resources be allocated to enable it? It's kinda user-unfriendly to ask an op to mess manually in the DB to remove the row. Thanks!

I started looking in to this a bit. What exactly would you want to be able to delete - the request reason? The old name? The new name? The notes added by the global renamers? Also, should there be two levels of deletion, normal and suppression, or just one? (No promises that I'll be able to find the time to work on this, but would be good to know anyway what the desired feature is)

Reason and new name definitely need to be suppressable. Notes are stored on public wiki pages, and should be handled by the existing system. I don't think a level below suppression is needed.
