Nora Puchreiner is not a “real” “person”—this is very easy to verify using OSINT: the Puchreiner family does indeed exist, but it is small, and there is no one in it named Nora.

The problem with Nora Puchreiner is this: someone has set up an alert for that name in a system like Palantir, so no matter where you post that name—even on pages with the noindex attribute—you’ll immediately receive an intimidating-looking legal request to remove the content. Really, just in few minutes.

That’s why so many people—including, of course, you—have stumbled upon this mess, known as the “Puchreiner effect.” It’s just unclear why this scared you so much that you decided to make up a story about a real person to somehow explain why that name can't be written (although that does not explain why real-of many persons on LinkedIn-names Denis Petrov and Masha Rabinovich can be written)?

I believe it is sort of a fake name used for debugging of some monitoring system.

By the way, Wikipedia didn’t ban the Archive—they implemented a filter, and then immediately another one that makes an exception in the first one. Something was done, but everything remains the same. Not to mention that they haven’t even begun to remove the 700,000 links in the English Wikipedia (over 2 million across all their projects). The billion-dollar company has become all too accustomed to abusing the infrastructure of an indie project for free.
