No, if a mis-spelling gets 70,000 hits it deserves a *redirect*. A name variant only deserves a mention in the article if it's one that people actually consciously use (e.g. Rameses/Ramesses).
But I'm not so sure that 'mis-spelling' is what this is, given that both variants have been used in the titles of books by reputable publishers. I absolutely agree that a redirect is in order -- we don't need two articles here. But I also think that a line or two in the body of the article covering the variant spelling is warranted, since it's something that a reader is likely to wonder about.

Apparently your writ does not run as far as that article. A vote on the matter has come up about evenly divided. Several attempts have been made to put some language in about the matter. All such attempts have been reverted, usually by Wik.
Just an aside, but Adolph is an accepted English spelling, just look at any Coors or bottle. A google search for either name will bring up coors.com.
