        Are the pages useful to the user? Do you expect users to actively use these pages on your site? Do you want users to be able to find these pages when they search for their issues through Google?

        If you've answered 'yes' to any of these questions, I wouldn't suggest removing them from Google. Instead, take your time and set a schedule to optimize each of these pages.

        If these pages are: Not valuable to the user, unnecessary to be indexed by Google, locked behind a membership gate, duplicate pages, thin content - then these would be good reasons to noindex them from all search engines.
