[[Colombus]] is arguably a variant spelling, not a
misspelling.
But [[Idendity]] certainly shouldn't redirect to
[[Identity]],
since [[Identity]] doesn't even exist!!!
"Colombus" could just as easily be a typo for "Colobus". I think we shouldn't be making disambigs for typos, so the page should be deleted.
I agree, disambigs for typos would be a bad idea. Redirects for common misspellings have proven useful, however. If a person typed "colombus" but meant to type "colobus", they would end up at the wrong page with or without a redirect.
