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

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

Keep perfectly reasonable spelling-disambiguation. — 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. — 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. — 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|✎ 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 |☺ 04:32, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
