A Sky News article on Kelly Osbourne has been removed
Google is deleting some search results at the request of its users, including articles about a controversial top-flight referee and an airline accused of racism.
It follows a European court ruling that individuals have a "right to be forgotten", so "outdated or irrelevant" material about themselves must be erased from search results.
News organisations are now being notified which of their articles are no longer publicly indexed on Google.co.uk - but remain searchable on Google.com.
They include stories relating to a now-retired Scottish Premier League referee called Dougie McDonald who resigned following controversy over a penalty he awarded in a Celtic game.
Details of a solicitor's 2002 fraud trial have also been scrubbed, along with articles relating to a couple caught having sex on a train and a Muslim man who accused an airline of refusing to employ him because of his face.
