l10n.gnome.org is a public website and I think it's recognizable as
such. Sorry but if you don't want your personal data to appear on the
web, don't put it on the web? Or maybe I don't understand the problem?

Yes, it's a public web, but if at any momment I don't my personal data to be in that web, I should be able to remove them. Note that those personal data are required to be registered in the web, and be registered is a must to follow DL's workflow, so there is no way to override the input of the personal data.

If at any momment, and whatever be the reason, an user wants to remove his/her profile, we should be capable to do that. Maybe the personal situation of the user has changed, and having such personal data in a public website may cause problems. Why should be must deny the deletion of that?

https://l10n.gnome.org/users/detail_change/ allows editing anything.

I know, but dou you really think that's an acceptable answer? Do you want GNOME's public image to be a project in where users have to modify their profile with false data because there is no mechanism to remove that profile if requested? Are you interesed in having several Donald Duck profiles, because the original profile can't be removed? I don't think it would be good for GNOME as a serious project...

mail.gnome.org has had this exact policy for decades for its mailing lists; that is, not to remove or edit archived mails even though people have requested precisely that, and I do not think this has hurt the project reputation in any way.

Please see the "My contact details are in your mailing list archives. Will you remove them?" section of https://mail.gnome.org/.
