I nominate this page for deletion. Even though it redirects to Nibelungenlied, there is absolutely no reason for this page to exist. It contains a glaring German grammatical error: the article for Nibelungenlied is Das, not Die, since Lied is a neuter noun, not feminine. One might say: "What's the harm, if it's simply a redirect page?". Well, the existence of this page is harmful because it diseducates, as it creates the false impression in a user who stumbles into it that the article for Nibelungenlied is Die, when it is not!

I realize there are zillions of Wikipedia pages with ridiculous typos in the titles that are simply redirected to the appropriate pages, but I personally disagree with the policy of preserving them, when not absolutely necessary. They still come up in searches, and their mere presence somehow validates those ridiculous typos! Pasquale (talk) 15:53, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
