Yes, I know.
But I think that something will change for users writing content (no more references in the main search engine) but also to discover copyright infringements.

As I understand it, the "right to be forgotten" will only affect the discoverability of content, rather than existence of content.
So if we rely on a source which says that person X did Y many years ago, and X succeeds in invoking their "right to be forgotten", then the source will no longer appear in search engine results. The source, whether offline or online, will continue to exist and will continue to be a valid reference.
My understanding may well be wrong, and if there is anything that summarises this issue as it affects Wikimedians I would be really interested to read it.

Wikipedia?
Google announced that they will apply the right to be forgotten in Europe and some names may disappear in the big search engine.
