    It depends on the content of sub pages. If they have unique content, then why no-index them?

    Normally, category pages and tag pages are no-index. No issue with that.

    I thought you were referring to sub-page of a page, no need to "no index" that. But now I understand, you were not referring to that 😉

    Definitely no-index them. I personally always do that.
