The protection log shows that this was rejected in the past as more than necessary. Why has that changed? Daniel Case (talk) 03:57, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Temporary Extended confirmed protection disruptive editing/edit war Arkoftwo4 (talk) 15:39, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 15 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato ^🏳‍🌈 16:01, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Edit warring and violations of WP:BADCHARTS. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:53, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Unsourced IP edits concerning what Freya is associated with continuing soon after the protection that was added for this very reason expired, likely needs longer protection. TylerBurden (talk) 16:16, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: The page was previously under semi-protection due to IP vandalism. The protection expired last month and there have been several more unconstructive IP edits since then that had to be reverted by other editors. I think that extending semi-protection for the foreseeable future would help keep the article stable. Thanks so much. Per Exemplum 16:22, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Continued, ongoing disruptive editing by anonymous editors. livelikemusic (TALK!) 17:14, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Longterm disruptive editing on BLP article. livelikemusic (TALK!) 17:20, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Repeated attempts to take various drafts live by sidestepping the existing, currently declined draft instead of incubating the draft. The mainspace attempts have resulted in an AFD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aravind Srinivas, which resulted in delete due to failure of WP:SIGCOV. Can we protect this redirect page for 6mo or something to prevent bypassing the existing AFC process and draft while the subject does not meet SIGCOV? Thanks.
