Ninurta is the Foremost son of Enlil mothered by his half-sister, Ninmah/Ninharsag not Ninlil. Z. Sitchin "Lost Book of Enki" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.14.134.242 ( talk) 07:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC) -- Please provide a reference to said 'lost book', seeing as Sitchin's work is fiction. 109.176.174.178 ( talk) 19:17, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Yes, it can. In fact, mainstream scholarship widely attests that Mesopotamian kings were often associated with and/or named after Sumerian deities (a relevant factor which I can't even find mention of in this article), so it's rather sketchy that the author of this article would have gone to such great lengths to promote the scholastic minority view (which is, in fact, contrary to archeological and anthropological evidence) that the god Ninurta and the king Nimrod were one and the same, especially considering that the records show that Ninurta was worshipped long before Nimrod ruled (i.e, before Nimrod was even born).

Is there any way to get a cuneiform rendering of the name? CielProfond ( talk) 20:10, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
Yes, there is. Various credible scholarly sources translate Ninurta as "Lord [of] Barley". Unfortunately, however, none of them seem to be currently available/accessible online. Brian B. Smith ( talk) 23:16, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

he is commonly invoked in spellsIt isn't quite clear why you are switching to the present tense here.
In the late seventh century BC, the temple staff witnessed legal documents ...Not sure what you are saying here. Was witness in legal procedures?

The page Ninib redirects here, but there's no sense of why that redirect is applicable. Darker Dreams ( talk) 06:16, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
I can't speak for the author of the article (who I assume created that redirect), but it stands to reason that it's because, in the inscriptions found at Lagash, Ninib appears as Ningirsu, the alternate Sumerian name for Ninurta. Brian B. Smith ( talk) 23:29, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
