I oppose this. We should not have articles invisible to search engines. Either the page gets deleted, or it stays. None of this monkey business.
I agree. If the information is good enough to be on Wikipedia, it's good enough to appear in a Google search. We have no obligation to protect subjects of articles from getting upset (beyond libel law, of course). While it is always nice to try and keep people happy, we shouldn't be going out of our way to do so.
