Attempted merge from September 2025 failed

So I'm digging through my IMDB contributions to clean out, and I just noticed that this edit from September where I attempted to merge a noted natural history cinematographer to another page with his credits, was declined amongst other edits. I have plans on having them fixed one at a time, so I hope you don't mind me making multiple posts about them. By the way, do these edits get rejected over a certain amount of time? As in they can no longer be accepted if done months ago?
