Completely unused shortcut to nonsense essay written by now-banned editor. EEng 23:27, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Have you considered taking the essay to MFD? While it stands, the redirect seems benign. --BDD (talk) 16:10, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep while the target exists and is in project space, plausible shortcut, current harmless. Hog Farm Talk 14:02, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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? --Guy Macon (talk) 23:31, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 23:48, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete in answer to Guy's question about it being a reasonable search term is to look at the stats with all of two hits in the last month. --Salix alba (talk): 08:23, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Fringe, non-notable topic, not mentioned in target article, and an unlikely search term for time dilation. --Slashme (talk) 10:00, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: J. H. Field has been a dedicated anti-relativist and a fringe theoretician of long standing. Prokaryotic Caspase Homolog (talk) 01:24, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Buzz. signed, Rosguill talk 22:00, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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..." Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 21:15, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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. -2pou (talk) 20:23, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Epic of evolution. signed, Rosguill talk 21:58, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:40, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FORRED. No connection between metaphysics and the French/German/Polish/Spanish language as far as I can discern. Mass created using a script. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:29, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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. MClay1 (talk) 08:42, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Battery monitoring is an activity carried also out by devices that aren't smart batteries. Is there a better target? Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:15, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. signed, Rosguill talk 21:56, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:09, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

General topic should not redirect to an article about a U.S.-specific movement. —Granger (talk · contribs) 17:09, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The current target is misleading, but I can't find a better one. Don't retarget to Compulsory education which is a different subject. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:26, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. We have articles on Compulsory education, we have articles on Public Education, and We have a load of "education by country" type articles that discuss if/when individual places introduced compulsory public education. I can't find any articles giving a general overview of "Compulsory public education" that this could target. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:03, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty obscure voice actor redirect created by a blocked UPE. scope_creepTalk 16:46, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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 (talk) 13:06, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Advanced Configuration and Power Interface#Processor states. signed, Rosguill talk 21:56, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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. Hog Farm Talk 06:36, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. signed, Rosguill talk 21:55, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in target article, WP:BEFORE doesn't bring up an obvious connection, FAC nominator of the target article stated that this doesn't seem relevant. Not mentioned in the version of the article that existed when this was created. Since-indeffed creator had a history of creating dubious redirects. I'm not seeing a justification for this one.
