I am leaning towards deletion, but maybe not. Is time contraction a reasonable search term for someone who is looking for time dilation but can't remember exactly what it is called? --

- Delete. Not mentioned in the target article so sending readers here with a redirect is pointless. In the discussions above there is a strong consensus against including this material due to the absence of secondary peer reviewed work. Google turns up about a dozen poorly cited papers mentioning this effect, a couple dozen forum posts, some blogs and a load of results unrelated to relativity. As a typo redirect I think it's ambiguous as searchers could be looking for
Time dilation or
Length contraction.

Retarget redirect to
Buzz. "Buzz Buzz" refers to more things than just the enemy in
EarthBound such as an onomatopoeia for a Bee or a Wasp (its most common use), as well as
an episode of Thomas & Friends. Furthermore, the character isn't mentioned by name except for "A small, bee-like creature from the future instructs..."

Not sure the best protocol to follow here. There are a lot of these redirects with some history back when everything could have a page. After redirection, it was not even worth keeping in a list entry per this edit:
Special:Diff/853977375. Now there is no mention at the target. -

This name for the big bang is apparently related to some kind of religious movement in the U.S. that blends science and religion together to create a narrative about the creation of the universe. I think this would probably serve better as a redirect to something related to the religious movement. Perhaps
Epic of evolution would be a suitable target, but the term is only briefly mentioned in that article, or
Michael Dowd, the writer that coined the term.

Not useful as a soft redirect, no meaningful page history. We don't need soft redirects with different capitalisation for every category, unless there's a reason it might be capitalised that way.

Delete as ambiguous (and badly capitalised - I can't find any use as a proper name). The current target infers the searcher is looking for a watch battery, but it is more likely they are looking for a battery-operated
watch.

Pretty obscure voice actor redirect created by a blocked UPE.

- Keep as this appears to be reasonably unambiguous and the target contains information about a person primarily known for voice acting.
Peter Williams (actor) is in
Category:Canadian male voice actors, but he is not primarily known as a voice actor; that, and the Peter/Pete distinction, suggests that the current target is reasonable. feminist

Propose retargeting to
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface#Processor states. This originally target the Confederate States of America, and was targeted here through IP vandalism and a double-redirect bot late last year. The current target is clearly innappropriate. However, I've got a good deal of familiarity with the American Civil War, and "C. States" isn't a particularly common (although not completely unknown) construction for the CSA. A
WP:BEFORE suggests that the computer topic is likely the primary topic, which is also where
C state points.

Not mentioned in target article,

stated that this doesn't seem relevant. Not mentioned in
