An odd disambiguation page. RickK 20:11, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)


 * The page is intended to help those people who do not know the exact spelling. So keep it. &mdash; Monedula 20:25, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * Keep perfectly reasonable spelling-disambiguation.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 21:40, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * A disambiguation page is defined as pointing to other pages that might otherwise have the same name, so I suppose this isn't strictly one. But it's a good idea, IMHO, to have pages like this for words that are hard to spell. Perhaps they could have a category of their own? (Or perhaps they already do?) Meanwhile, keep.

 * Change to a redirect of Butan for Bhutan. -TheFed 00:30, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * comment: Why that and not the disambig? The misspelling could easily be either.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 01:52, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful in its present form. Wile E. Heresiarch 01:46, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Bhutan. It's quite possible people will misspell the country this way, but it's hard to see how someone could do it with butane except as a typo, which they will notice themselves when they end up at the wrong page. &mdash; Trilobite (Talk) 02:09, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, "butan" is how butane is spelled in German. Fwiw, Wile E. Heresiarch 04:35, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * What Wile E. said, and in many other languages too. I was just thinking that butan for butane could easily trip me up. Keep as is, please (I already voted), as better than a redirect for non-native English speakers. Bishonen 06:30, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect exactly as Tilobite says. Jallan 02:15, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep in the spirit of misspelling redirects. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 05:43, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep as it is. Non-native English speakers could misspell either one as "butan". Andris 12:36, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Fuelbottle | Talk 20:55, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Why would you want to get rid of something that helps people to navigate Wikipedia? ··gracefool |&#9786; 04:32, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
