Speedy deletion declined: User:DougheGojiraMan/sandbox

Hello Bait30. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:DougheGojiraMan/sandbox, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Editor has significant contributions so not elegible for U5. Use WP:MFD. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 02:32, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note - same rationale for the other pages from this user that you nominated. I did not want to flood your page with notifications. They all have the same problem so you could/should do a bundled nomination. If you need help with a bundled nomination, let me know. -- Whpq (talk) 02:36, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Whpq, the bundling instructions were really confusing. I think I did it, but would appreciate if you take a look to make sure it's correct. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 21:49, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay how about we just stop with the automatic posting of deletion tags, and just talk it out civilly? DougheGojiraMan (talk) 21:55, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The deletion tags were not "automatic". They have been manually added. If you want to talk it out, you need to make your case at the deletion discussion. -- Whpq (talk) 00:07, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the bundling instructions are not the clearest, but you managed to get it done. It looks to be bundled properly. -- Whpq (talk) 00:06, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the bundling instructions are sub-optimal. It looks like a correctly done bundle (and I have more bundling experience than I would like to have had). Robert McClenon (talk) 04:28, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
