--- Comment #3 from Raimond Spekking <[email protected]> ---
Speaking with my experience as Wikipedian, OTRS member and Commons Oversighter:

* User add private information on their userpage. Later they see: "Oh, it's on
Google (!!!)" and ask in panic for deletion. In the past it was easy to delete
the page and request removal from the Google search index with the Google
Webmaster Tools because a deleted page return a 404. Now this is impossible due
to the return code 200. At least it takes longer until the spider recognizes
the change.

* I am not sure that your idea of "We should likely provide some default
information on those pages, like contribution lists, etc" would enjoy all
Wikipedianer. I know on dewiki a lot of people who likes her red user page
link.... A user page can be a sanctuary ...

* This bug is only about user ***sub***pages.
