I see, well I think locking the page before anything happens might be unfair to other users who would have wanted to edit the page to add something new or fix a problem, you know edit in good faith.

If something like this happened again, yeah the page would be locked but after the vandalism or trolling occurred. Locking it before anything happens may seem like a good move to prevent disruptive edits but other people who has to fix something or add something to the page would not be able to make their edits either.

Looking at the history of these pages, there were no problems either. If there were problems, a lock is acceptable since those pages have been vandalized or an edit war occurred but a page that had none of it does not need to be protected.
