I'm not so sure about the deleted comments, but I did go over all the
changes to the actual page (not the discussion) that took place during
those two days. It seems that the page was in the middle of a stupid
edit war. Most of the deleted comments, as far as I could tell, were
about "why was the page locked". You may not agree with the specific
decisions, but it's hard to call them "unreasonable".

No. The explanation says "מתחזה". ‎There was a short discussion about
it, but I cannot see the discussion itself. I'm assuming that the
discussion ended with the assertion that David Shy is too well known, so
that your friend's name was too confusing.

The thing is, such things happen everywhere names are used. I had the
exact same problem trying to buy a .co.il domain (and the collision was
with someone that ISOC agreed is a cyber-squater). I eventually had to
buy a totally different name. Such things happen.

Don't get me wrong. My experience with wikipedia is not all positive
myself. See
http://israblog.nana.co.il/blogread.asp?blog=35850&blogcode=2483976. I
still think your criticism seems excess.
