Requests for page protection | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be protected. Please read up on the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used only to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection) After a page has been protected, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism. Note: Editors should not consider requesting page protection as a method for continuing an argument from elsewhere nor as a venue for starting a new discussion regarding article content. If a request contains excessive argument, appears to be intended to resolve a content dispute, includes personal attacks or uncivil comments, or has any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page and no action will be taken.

Yves Nyami
- Yves Nyami (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: There is a well sourced article at Yves Nyami (footballer) which should be moved here. Inwind (talk) 09:24, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Wugapodes and Number 57: Looking through the logs, it appears that it was salted due to repeated recreations of a page that was declined by AfC review. I am inclined to unprotect, given that the repeated draftifications and its accompanying protection seem to be against WP:DRAFTOBJECT. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:23, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Sdrqaz: no objection here. Imo, salting just means "don't create without running it past some admin" so always feel free to undo my saltings if you think it no longer is needed. Thanks for the heads up though. — Wug·a·po·des 01:48, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- I think given the efforts made to get the original article published, I strongly suspect the new article is a paid-for one (looking at the creator's talk page, the issue of COI and paid editing has been raised on multiple occasions). The subject fails the old NFOOTBALL notability guideline and I am not convinced the new article passes GNG (most of the references are databases). Number 57 08:03, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- Perhaps Yves Nyami (footballer) should be taken to AfD, and if it survives, then it can be moved to Yves Nyami. —ScottyWong— 21:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

The Hundred and One Dalmatians
- The Hundred and One Dalmatians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: Unnecessary indefinite protection placed since 2010. Had to be unprotected long ago. Protecting admin is inactive for 8 years. Orientls (talk) 07:14, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- This was a Bambifan101 target and protection was very necessary at the time. But is Bambifan101 still active? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 10:23, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
John Boyne
- John Boyne (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: The information is out of date and impossible to update. Reader100x (talk) 16:22, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. The last attempt to lift the protection really didn't end well. Favonian (talk) 16:26, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Gamergate (harassment campaign)
- Talk:Gamergate (harassment campaign) (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)
Please add the following comment to the recent move request.
- Comment: Some users such as GorillaWarfare claimed that harassment campaign is not the primary topic. However, harassment campaign page has 10x more views compared to ant page. It also has educational value, because it teaches us about the misogynistic deeds other people committed and shows us how to take lessons from it. All these evidence indicate that harassment campaign is the primary topic. Accordingly, I disagree with their opinion. Madame Necker (talk) 23:08, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Bluntly speaking, this argument is like to do far more harm than good to your position. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 23:09, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, I will modify my argument. Madame Necker (talk) 23:11, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- To be more specific, the "more pageviews" argument is a good one. It's the "It also has educational value..." sentence that would be the problematic bit, as that sounds like your goal is to use the article for some sort of advocacy. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 23:12, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice. I will change and repost it. Madame Necker (talk) 23:14, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Please add the following comment to the recent move request.
- Comment: Some users such as GorillaWarfare claimed that harassment campaign is not the primary topic. However, harassment campaign page has 10x more views compared to ant page. Aquillion pointed out that move might cause problems with recentism. However, WP:DPT states that "...historical age is not determinative" when identifying the primary topic. I also think that the general audience would be more interested in the internet campaign compared to the ant species, which would attract the specific audience of biology enthusiasts. Ant species has more educational value compared to the internet campaign, but I think the other factors —particularly overwhelmingly more pageviews and appeal to general audience— outweigh it. Accordingly, I disagree with their opinion.--Madame Necker (talk) 23:29, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
Murder of Kanhaiya Lal
- Murder of Kanhaiya Lal (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
See Talk:Murder of Kanhaiya Lal#Protected edit request on 4 July 2022. Clear consensus on article's talk page[1] and also WP:BLPN thread [2] thread against this this misleading revert. Kindly undo this revert. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 09:39, 4 July 2022 (UTC) Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 09:39, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
