There is a warning at the moment listing the number of items that will be deleted. I guess I could add an option in account deletion to choose if lists should be deleted or assigned to the deleted name.

It wouldn't be fair to keep it on the site if they're not around to police it any more. Just my thoughts, as I can't see any reason why someone might delete their profile otherwise.
