Six months since Brunei's protection was downgraded
Hi Callanecc, it's been six months since the Brunei article protection was downgraded from semi to pending changes. The article's recent history shows that pending changes seems to be working well here; of the 64 edits since pending changes was applied, there have been constructive, accepted edits from IP users, but some of them have been reverted as either disruptive editing or vandalism. I'm checking the article's history every so often to see whether significant disruption returns, though there hasn't been a reverted edit since August. I do have to note that just because the language edition article of that country's official language isn't protected (such as the Malay edition of Brunei) doesn't mean that the English edition article is safe from disruption. You were the last one who upgraded the Slovakia article protection from pending changes to semi back in May. This was sensible as pending changes wasn't stopping IP users from changing its name to "Death to the war criminal state Russia!" multiple times. Meanwhile, the Slovak edition of that article isn't protected. As two other European country articles (Lithuania and Luxembourg) are also seeing the same sort of vandalism whenever they are not protected ([1], [[2]), I don't think it would be safe to remove or downgrade Slovakia's protection for the time being. When you mentioned that the Singapore article is indefinitely semi-protected in that discussion, I would understand that; unlike Brunei, a country which not many talk about, Singapore is one of the more popular countries out there, which is why I think it wouldn't be good to have its protection below semi.
