Do we want ArbCom pages where the accused's real identity is revealed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Carl_Hewitt) 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.

Fred, if the Arbitration Committee authorizes, the Clerks can set up a procedure for dealing with such pages. Please advise how the committee would like this handled.

Most obvious solution would be to blank it, label as archived, and leave a link to the most recent revision.
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 indexed by search engines.

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?

sure move it to wikipedia:articles for deletion/whatever.
I would like to formerly request an unblock for the limited purpose to Appeal before ArbCom making a separation of the unfounded smears that my name is associated with he Lyndon LaRouche movement. < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:AMA_Requests_for_Assistance/Requ...
Google Nobs01+LaRouche brings up 226 Google hits. < http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Nobs01%2BLaRouche >
ArbCom has twice failed to rectify this injustice, despite (a) Mr. Fred Bauder admitting five times the smear is unfounded; (b) the perpetrator himself has made statements that the allegation is false. < http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration...
Thank you,
Rob Smith aka User:Nobs01 and Nobs02
