List of spiral tunnels and tunnels on a curved alignment

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

list is OR and synth, I couldn't find any reliable source that shows the notability of such list. See also Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Trains, and pinging who commented there. Artem.G (talk) 12:46, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Some of these individual tunnels are notable, but there's no evidence to support them being notable as a group. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 13:20, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete I would think it's impossible to have a spiral tunnel that isn't curved, so the list doesn't make sense. Oaktree b (talk) 15:36, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that you're reading the title as a single group. To me, "List of spiral tunnels and tunnels on a curved alignment" reads as containing two groups: (i) spiral tunnels (ii) tunnels on a curved alignment. Whilst all spiral tunnels are curved, not all curved tunnels are spiral. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 22:25, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * ok, that makes sense. Oaktree b (talk) 23:25, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep dewiki seems to have articles and lists for both spiral loops (Kreiskehren) and curved tunnles (Kehrtunnel), with plenty of sources to establish the distinct notability of each. small jars 15:42, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Some of the tunnels may be notable on their own, but I do not see anything discussing this topic as a set. Appears to be WP:SYNTH. -- Kinu t/c 17:14, 11 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep. According WP:What SYNTH is not. -- ZH8000 (talk) 20:03, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * What on earth are you even talking about? That doesn't make any sense, you're implying this article gets a carve-out from SYNTH by grossly misinterpreting part of an explanatory essay that does not in any way support that position. Regardless, this does not meet WP:NLIST. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:35, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
