Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:12, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- WP:CTOPS enforcement under WP:ARBBLP may be required. IanDBeacon (talk) 21:41, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hawking died nearly six years ago. That's a stretch for BLP also covering the recently deceased. Unknown Temptation (talk) 22:30, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe this falls under WP:CT/AP, but a 2018 death is pretty far past the two-year guidance at WP:BDP. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:00, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations. General Ization Talk 22:18, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Vandal has been warned, let me know if the disruption is repeated. —Ganesha811 (talk) 05:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Reason: User is adding original research and removing content on multiple pages Magherbin (talk) 22:35, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Anonymous user block and temporary semi-protection: Addition of unsourced content and high level of IP vandalism. The Media Expert (talk) 22:52, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Not done. I'm not seeing vandalism, I'm seeing people add rumors as if they were facts, ie: unsourced info. I've only seen a couple of instances this week, so it is a bit below the threshold for protection due to unsourced additions. It may get to the point that it needs protection, but I can't yet. Please note, that "vandalism" means edits specifically designed to undermine or deface the encyclopedia, not just ordinary "bad edits" that are unsourced or based on rumors.

Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruptive editing from various users; changing the headquarters and making comments about the CEO in the edit summary about a proposed merger. BrickMaster02 (talk) 03:08, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps you meant semi-protection? LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 03:11, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

- Already protected by administrator C.Fred. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High level of disruptive edits from motivated, persistent IP user(s), chiefly 2601:205:4300* and 67.166.136.47. In the last five months, I alone have reverted 21 edits adding either unsourced or non-WP:RS birth date, birth place, and birth name, which is a high volume for a relatively low traffic article. Requesting increase to WP:SEMI. Rift (talk) 04:39, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I also left a welcome message noting the sourcing requirements for the most recently used account. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Ip vandalism. Removal of references and spam. Ranadhira (talk) 06:02, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
