In one prior case, the Evidence and Workshop pages were archived to history
and protected in that form, meaning that the text can be read by interested
Wikipedians using the edit history but would not show up in a Google
search. I do not know if this has been done before with a final decision,
however.
Is it possible to mark a specific page no-follow to put it outside the
parameters for a Google scrape of the site?

How should such cases be handled? Deleting the page, blanking it
(completely or only leaving a link to a previous version behind?) Maybe
administrators should have an option to "protect" the page from being

to appear
on Google, especially given the fact that searching for the
accused's name will result in this page appearing as the second entry
(just after the Wikipedia article on him?)

Probably not. You have picked a good example, but there are others.
