The claim was made that banned notices where coming up in Google when
you searched for someone's name.

Specifically narrowing the search to "lists of banned users", or even
site:en.wikipedia.org defeats the claim.

I did get a couple examples via private mail, but all have since been fixed.

I'd rather see us fully no-index the user namespace... and I was
hoping to get some good ammo to further that argument, but I haven't
gotten any here yet.
