I could not find any instance of "wipe" or "wiping" in the Nautilus
(Debian's 3.14.1-2) source code, so I'll assume you're talking about
Nautilus Wipe, not about Nautilus.
If I'm correct, then the current ubiquity of the "wipe" word just
means that there are more places (in Nautilus Wipe) where the new
phrasing should be used, rather than an argument in favour of keeping
the old one... or did I misunderstand what you meant?

I'll let our GNOME HIG experts double-check :)

It doesn't make sense to me to "Securely delete empty disk space".
How can one delete something that's empty? But perhaps that's only me,
as both a non-native English speaker and technical person.
