Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] A new solution for the BLP dilemma

The proposal is to noindex upon the subject's request.  Isn't it best 
to let
the people who live with the consequences weigh those pros and cons?  
If the
main thing they want is to get Wikipedia off the top Google result, 
then it
may be worth it to them.  On principle, I'm not keen on paternalism.>>


President Obama has asked us to noindex his page.
Do we do it?  I'm hoping that you will agree that we do not.
