This has been an unmerged match, sitting since Apr 9, 2016. Can it be cleaned up?

Apparently it goes back to 2013 really, but both profiles it was originally put on have been merged away into other profiles since then, and the UMM has been carried through the merges.
The earliest unmerged match currently involving two open profiles has been left pending since December 2012.

I rejected some earlier ones a week or two ago.  I think this is now the oldest Anglophone UMM

though not for long.

I have unmerged matches that I can't merge because one of the profiles has a privacy level that prevents the merge, and the profile manager has not approved the merge.  These do not default in thirty days so that I can merge them, and yes I have sent messages to the profile manager, and filed non-responsive manager actions.

Yes... They are different people, one is the grandfather of the other. Merge should be rejected.

EDIT: there was a glitch. The two profiles were both in a Rejected merge and an Unmerged match. I removed the match completely.

I periodically come across this especially on the older UMs
