And, might I add, when it comes to wiping the disk, one good wipe is all it takes, contrary to what government standards say.....
I challenge anyone to recover data from a disk after a single pass of: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd0
You do that, the data is gone, and it's not coming back....

I would just add wiping the disk, or taking a sledgehammer to it if it's really sensitive data and you'll be decommissioning the hardware too, and then other little things like updating documentation and maybe any clients, e.g. tnsnames.ora files, that need to be updated.
