Now imagine that you are very innocently minding your own business and then you discover that this is the top ranked link in google for your name. How would you feel?
Yes, *please* let's do something about this and quickly. I'd like to use a mess I made myself as an example, I think it's fairly typical.

I find a page for a not-very-well-known writer and drag it to AfD with a suggestion to delete. My fellow AfD trolls agree and add that the person probably wrote the article herself - or maybe her boyfriend did.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AfD/TB (Created a redirect to avoid putting the person's name into the mailing list archives and thereby exasperating the problem.)
Currently this AfD discussion is the #2 English language Google hit for the person's name, soon it will be the #1 result. Someone searching for her in that way will immediately find the words "non-notable" attached to her. That's not good.
Even when we trolls over there are at our best behaviour an AfD discussion which ends with a biographical article being deleted is always going to read like rubbing one's eyes with sandpaper to the person involved.
