Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Reason: The article has faced ongoing disruption and vandalism since September, which constitutes a WP:BLPVIO as it impacts the election results of living individuals. Extended protection, ideally six months would be ideal, as there is too much to handle. For more context, refer to Wikipedia talk:Requests for page protection#Upward of a thousand articles requiring protection. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 20:55, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SheriffIsInTown: This falls into two separate contentious topics (Indian Subcontinent, concluded (sub)national elections). Have you considered maybe requesting at WP:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement to maybe see if other actions besides protection could be taken? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 23:08, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jéské Couriano I can’t think of any effective measures they could take against random IPs causing disruptions to multiple articles at irregular intervals every few days. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:44, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Unsourced addition of caste by IPs. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 07:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Semi-protected I think semi-protection will be enough. Lectonar (talk) 10:43, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Unsourced content added again to BLP less than 48 hours after previous page protection expiry. Egghead06 (talk) 08:43, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 11:50, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recent activity on this page suggests an effort by some editors to discredit Bunq while actively promoting similar brands as a superior alternative. Pridemanty (talk) 08:44, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Extended confirmed protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This is a content dispute paired with edit-warring and, to a lesser degree, some behavioural problems. I have chosen to ec-protect, as some parties involved are autoconfirmed.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Pretty much an endless target for vandalism at this stage as evident from page history. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 11:54, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
