<upd_detl>We have a unique entry for the common 問題ナッシング。

I encountered as: "My clothes are untorn".  ジャージとスニーカーもほころびナッシング.  This singleton suggests that ナッシング is productive.  I dug around and found quite a few more-common examples (refs).</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>Far more often without a particle than with.  
問題ナッシング	12440 &lt;-- we have this

必要ナッシング	2389
必要はナッシング	353
必要がナッシング	26

興味ナッシング	4650　
興味がナッシング	48

ことナッシング	2792	82.9%
ことがナッシング	147	4.4%
ことはナッシング	428	12.7%

仕方ナッシング	133

暇ナッシング	332
暇がナッシング	50

Some less-common constructions I ran into:
冷蔵庫には食べ物ナッシング
月末でお金ナッシングなのにトイトイのイベントきた
誰も手伝いナッシングなので、ウチのお母ちゃん引っ張りだして...
梅雨のはずなのに、雨ナッシングなまま7月になりました

"需要ナッシング" has many examples - something not in-demand.

<upd_detl>Sorry for the delay as always.  I've read all comments on entries for the last couple months, this is the only one I'd ask you to possibly reconsider. (Too bad about おもろ, but I take the point).

To be very clear, my edit here had 0 to do with 問題ナッシング. The xref here was just bookkeeping.

I encountered ほころびナッシング in the wild. I checked jmdict to understand why the character might have said that. My search for "ナッシング" took me to this entry, which did not explain anything. (never mind that the only sense here is a [noun] sense, and this wasn't a noun usage).

I agree that seeing the "問題ナッシング" explains the issue *if* users can see it.  That's precisely the problem. Many dictionary apps (including jmdict, by default) will include *prefix* matches, but won't include suffix/substring search on a term that has an exact match. I only found 問題ナッシング　because I went out of my way to check as part of suggesting this edit. 

The only way to fix at is to add the sense here. 

And I don't consider that a hack/workaround.  I think the entry is legitimate.  It's attached to a couple of common collocations, it's appeared in recent mass-media, and it is tossed around casually by native speakers online with random collocations.  I'm perfectly happy to mark the term [net-sl] or [rare] even to dissuade its deliberate use.   

But unless my understanding of the sense is just completely incorrect, an entry here would have been helpful for me, and would no doubt be helpful to others.</upd_detl>
