WP:NOTDICTIONARY. And I don't think the author is clear on what this page is for. First, they created it as a redirect to Austin. Then they changed it to a redirect to Autism. Then they changed it into a soft redirect to the non-existent Wiktionary entry wikt:Austim. Then the article was speedy-deleted as a test page, I'm supposing based on the factors I just covered. Now the page reappears, as a sort of anagram/misspelling disambiguation page that, if this is justified, justifies a redirect or disambiguation page for just about every misspelling and anagram of any word anybody can think of. Even if we have "R from typo" redirect pages (and that isn't for the purpose of making up typos to redirect from, it's for when the original title of a page was a typo and the page was then moved), I don't think we have disambiguation pages based on arbitrary non-existent key words.

Delete as a dab. I think this is a much more likely misspelling of Autism than Austin, so I am OK with redirecting to Autism also. MB 14:41, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
delete we don't need disambiguation links to every possible mistyped word, it's pointless. Oaktree b (talk) 14:46, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agreed with Oaktree b, this disambiguation page seems pointless. They seem like rare typos to me, compared to something like "Auston" or "Autisim". Waddles 🗩 🖉 16:29, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Autism would be the best solution for this one. TH1980 (talk) 02:05, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There's an Australian Industrial and Mining Corporation mentioned in Haw Par Corporation as using "Austim", and a basketball team in Zamal Nixon, but neither looks notable! Have fixed a couple of typos in references which included "austim" for "autism". PamD 07:22, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
