Semiprotection for at least a year; slow-burning but consistent insertion of hateful errors. Ja'far al-Sadiq was one of the founding members of the Twelver sect, a group whose adherents number well over 100 million worldwide, of Shi'a Islam. By no honest definition was he a Sunni Muslim. Since roughly last August, anonymous editors have regularly targeted words like "Twelver" and "Shi'a," changing them to "Sunni" or just removing them altogether. This insertion of deliberate errors borne out of sect- or faith-based hatred got al-Sadiq put under pending changes protection by User:DatGuy a month ago. Since then, this article has gotten 11 anonymous edits. Of those, ten got quickly reverted because of the same stuff from before, one was an apparently good-faith change that still harmed part of the article's Arabic script, and zero were actually kept. If I'm being premature on this, so be it but to my mind, pretty much every anonymous edit over the last seven months shows semiprotection will just automate what PC1 reviewers are now doing by hand.

Reason: Vandalism due to nature of page. Ideally a long protection period would be ideal. - Tbf69 🛈 🗩 22:29, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's fascinating -- the vandal is asking for page protection, no doubt to cement his vandalism... Nomoskedasticity (talk) 23:27, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This article was originally created as a redirect. Multiples IPs and one indef blocked user are creating an unneeded article replacing the redirect. Multiple users have restored the redirect as conclusion is article not needed here.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. If the change is disputed via a reversion, an attempt should be made to reach a consensus before blank-and-redirecting again. Suitable venues for doing so include the article's talk page and Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion. Sdrqaz (talk) 23:49, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism and autoconfirmed users vandalism, requesting temporary protection increase to the page. Wiki Master World (talk) 01:56, 10 March 2023 (UTC) I[reply]

Reason: Contentious BLP of cult leader with with history of sock puppetry from members. I believe the latest media attention warrants an individual English wiki bio page for the person. Will appreciate more admin eyes on this page thanks. Michi (talk) 02:59, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
