Forum:"Companions of the Nth Doctor" Templates

From what I understand, there was a user called Retsinif that was causing a lot of problems for the wiki. One of those problems involved the templates for the Doctors' companions, and as a result, all of them were protected. This was back on February 10, 2012. Since then, Retsinif has been blocked for a year and his ban's expiring on April 22, 2013, so is there still a point to keeping the protection status on the templates? At the very least, they can remain semi-protected, i.e. only new and unregistered users are blocked from editing them, but since the primary reason for them being protected has been taken care of, why still keep them fully protected?
