CLN: Enforce deprecation of not validating na argument to string methods

 - Enforce deprecation in :func:`testing.assert_series_equal` and :func:`testing.assert_frame_equal` with object dtype and mismatched null-like values, which are now considered not-equal (:issue:`18463`)
 - Enforce banning of upcasting in in-place setitem-like operations (:issue:`59007`) (see `PDEP6 <https://pandas.pydata.org/pdeps/0006-ban-upcasting.html>`_)
 - Enforced deprecation ``all`` and ``any`` reductions with ``datetime64``, :class:`DatetimeTZDtype`, and :class:`PeriodDtype` dtypes (:issue:`58029`)
+- Enforced deprecation allowing non-``bool`` and NA values for ``na`` in :meth:`.str.contains`, :meth:`.str.startswith`, and :meth:`.str.endswith` (:issue:`59615`)
 - Enforced deprecation disallowing ``float`` "periods" in :func:`date_range`, :func:`period_range`, :func:`timedelta_range`, :func:`interval_range`,  (:issue:`56036`)
 - Enforced deprecation disallowing parsing datetimes with mixed time zones unless user passes ``utc=True`` to :func:`to_datetime` (:issue:`57275`)
 - Enforced deprecation in :meth:`Series.value_counts` and :meth:`Index.value_counts` with object dtype performing dtype inference on the ``.index`` of the result (:issue:`56161`)
