I'm still not sure what this has specifically to do with English-Welsh law, as opposed to the rest of the EU. As for the Guardian piece, I agree with the Information Commissioner's Office, https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/news-and-events/news-and-blogs/2015/08/ico-orders-removal-of-google-search-results/ it's > "an unwarranted and negative impact on the individual’s privacy" If, after Google removes links to the claimant's name, someone searches for the phrase "right to be forgotten", then they will find the claimant's name(s), just not the other way around. Which is is as it should be.

Yes, and if English-Welsh law governed Wikipedia he could then sue for libel and have all that reliably-sourced critical material removed regardless of it being truthful, and then make sure that the fact that it was removed cannot be reported in any news article that would show up in search results due to some “’right’ to be forgotten”.
