+Right to Vanish
+---------------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+This NIP offers a Nostr-native way to request a complete reset of a key's fingerprint on the web. In some jurisdictions, this is a legally binding procedure and thus supporters of this NIP MUST trully delete events from their database. 
+
+## Delete Account
+
+Kind `62` informs a specific relay to delete everything, including [NIP-09](09.md) Deletion Events, from the `.pubkey` until its `.createdAt`
+
+```js
+{
+  "kind": 62,
+  "pubkey": <32-bytes hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
+  "tags": [
+    ["relay", "<relay url>"]
+  ],
+  "content": "<reason or note>",
+  //...other fields
+}
+```
+
+The tag list MUST include at least one `relay` value. 
+
+Content MAY include a reason or a legal notice to the relay operator. 
+
+Relays MUST fully delete any events from the `.pubkey` if their service url is tagged in the event. 
+
+Relays MAY store the deletion request for bookkeeping and ensure past events are not re-broadcasted into the relay. 
+
+Paid relays or relays that have restrictions on who can post MUST also follow the request even if the key has not been paid to get access to the relay. 
+
+Kind `62` SHOULD only be sent to the target relays. 
+
+## Right to Vanish
+
+Kind `63` informs ALL relays to delete everything, including [NIP-09](09.md) Deletion Events, from the `.pubkey` until its `.createdAt`
+
+```js
+{
+  "kind": 63,
+  "pubkey": <32-bytes hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
+  "tags": [],
+  "content": "<reason or note>",
+  //...other fields
+}
+```
+
+The tag list MUST be empty.
+
+Content MAY include a reason or a legal notice to the relay operator. 
+
+Relays MUST fully delete any events from the `.pubkey`. 
+
+Relays MAY store the deletion request for bookkeeping and ensure past events are not re-broadcasted into the relay. 
+
+Paid relays or relays that have restrictions on who can post MUST also follow the request even if the key has not been paid to get access to the relay. 
+
+Kind `63` SHOULD be widely broadcasted.
