Extended-confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement per WP:ECR. Left guide (talk) 20:23, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @Left guide: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:38, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Declined until the AFD (which seems headed towards keep, but it's still got only two !votes) is resolved. There's no evidence of serious disruption, and the ECP that would probably apply might get in the way of any improvements that might need to be made. Daniel Case (talk) 19:08, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There has been discussion on the status of Rajputs which is affecting related pages and this page is one such page. So, to avoid edit warring by EC accounts, full protection is needed. Adamantine123 (talk) 16:26, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Declined Discussion between the warring editors has started on the talk page and they are laying off the article for now, it seems. Like other admins here I am loathe to full-protect any page already under a long-term protection (although I have done it) since MediaWiki currently does not allow us to layer protection levels (other than PC) over different durations, so when a full protection expires this article (which as a CASTE article that has already been under indef ECP following past disruption) would be left unprotected. Yes, I do have W-Ping so I would be reminded, but that depends on me being in a position to get back and reprotect the article promptly. Daniel Case (talk) 19:29, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The article has been subject to persistent vandalism and edit wars, disrupting its credibility and integrity. Over the past few weeks, there have been multiple instances of users making inaccurate or biased edits, often with the intent to mislead or promote specific agendas. These edits have included the addition of false information, removal of cited content, and insertion of defamatory or promotional material.
Despite reverting these changes and issuing warnings to the involved editors, the behavior has continued, often from anonymous IP addresses or newly created accounts. This persistent activity negatively impacts the reliability of the article and misleads readers.
Additionally, the topic of the page has garnered significant public attention recently, making it a target for repeated edits driven by media narratives, personal biases, or coordinated efforts to skew public perception. Given the high traffic to this page and the recurring nature of these disruptions, semi-protection or full protection is necessary to ensure only constructive, verified contributions are made.
Protecting this page will:
Prevent further disruption and maintain the accuracy of the content. Allow editors to focus on improving the article rather than reverting repeated vandalism. Uphold Wikipedia’s standards for neutrality and reliability. Given these challenges, I request that the page be protected for a specified period to mitigate ongoing issues and provide a stable version for readers. Sohailnm (talk) 17:16, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Also, I would note that you have very few edits in total for an account created two years before you even began editing, and most of these have been to this article, which is tagged as having UPE issues. AGF notwithstanding, I cannot clear my mind of suspicions that that tag might be prompted by concerns about your editing (I will, however, put a CTOPS notice on the talk page).

- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 19:45, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I only see one instance of disruption since the last protection (which I imposed) expired months ago. Daniel Case (talk) 19:51, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: This topic widely cover the frontline of religious institutes WP:IF and spiritually and usefully pose an verbal important for thousands of daily viewers so its generically an common instance to increase the protection of this sensitive topic at least to extend confirm user right coverage to prevent anonymous intervention from overall contributor's 113.177.117.19 (talk) 20:10, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. If significant disruption occurs then feel free to re-request protection here. Fathoms Below (talk) 20:59, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. TornadoLGS (talk) 20:57, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Extended confirmed protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 21:07, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Ymblanter I think you set the page protection to two days instead of two weeks by accident, though the page was move protected for two weeks. Just letting you know. Fathoms Below (talk) 21:13, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right, thanks for noticing. Corrected now. Ymblanter (talk) 21:20, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
