Nimud

Disambiguation page, but only lists "possible misspellings" as uses for "Nimud", there are no actual encyclopedic topics relating to this to disambiguate. I could see this perhaps for a common misspelling with lots of possible uses, but this doesn't seem like a common misspelling, and lists a mere two things that this could be a possible misspelling of. Furthermore, if we allowed disambiguation pages like this, we would get thousands upon thousands of misspelling disambiguation pages for what people may think the person was intending on typing. In sum, this page isn't useful and sets a bad precedent. VegaDark (talk) 21:07, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Allowing dab pages for spelling errors would set a really bad precedent and since there's no article by this title, I totally agree with the nominator. -Mgm|(talk) 22:21, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and concur with above. JodyBtalk 22:31, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Redirects for bad spelling are universally accepted; for example, nobody sees something wrong in having Untied States as a redirect to the USA article. I don't see how this is really essentially different: it's an attempt to help mistaken readers find the pages that they want.  Without a doubt, this page if kept will set somewhat of a precedent, but as it can easily be useful for someone who mistyped a word, it's a good precedent.  No objection to the idea of pages such as this, even if they include more than two words.  Nyttend (talk) 03:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Untied states is different. There someone accidentally typed two letters in the wrong order. To accept this is a probably misspelling, someone needs to show the 'r' is routinely forgotten, which seems incredibly unlikely to me. - Mgm|(talk) 08:48, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Nimrod (disambiguation), which includes Nimrud. Guest9999 (talk) 19:56, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
