Been suggested before. Answer is either:

No what search engines do with wikipedia content is none of our business.

No the subjects of articles have no right to determine wikipedia behavior

Of course it could also be argued that effectively making a public
record of people who are sensitive about their bios it's exactly an
improvement on the current situation.
