Most of these seem to be rather trivial edit woars over alternative name spellings. Protecting the articles is pointless. If they want to keep beating each other over the head over this they should feel free to do so.
This behaviour interferes with other users. The article Richard Neustadt remained protected for several days when the subject was timely but the article still needed work. It was listed on the Main page for several hours (Neustadt had just died) but a sysop took it off because of the edit war.
