Comment: from the creator's user talk page:Thank you for your message. My personal opinion, Kanbara Tunnel is a major railway tunnel in Japan with total length of around 5km (also based on my own measurement using google maps' measurement tools), that still operational on Tokaido shinkansen line now. It is not much known because most publications is in Japanese. I will add more on this tunnel as reliable sources are available in English. Happy New Year 2024.

- Weak(ish) Keep Searching through archives there are a few sources, I can't fully read any of them as they are offline but the snippets provided in "土木施工 7(8)", "土木施工 9(4)", "道路建設 (404)", and the "Aerodynamics and Ventilation of Vehicle Tunnels" source in article by seem to give me some confidence enough SIGCOV exists to meet GNG. Only voting weekly because of the access issue. Jumpytoo Talk 03:24, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 20:53, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Additional sources added since nomination, especially this one [1]. There's also this [2] which I can't access. I think it's over the threshold. DCsansei (talk) 21:00, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Source 4 in the article as a peer-reviewed study about wind currents in the tunnel, which is good for GNG. I've tried using the Japanese name and found these [3] that talk about the illumination challenges at the time. I think we're good for notability now. Oaktree b (talk) 21:29, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
