[edit] Old Merge Debate
Do Not Merge I am the originator of the Butterley Tunnel article and I accept that for this reason I am biassed in its favour. Nevertheless, here is my argument for maintaining its independence.
The tunnel is Notable for the following reasons. It is old, built in 1794. It is long, if repaired it would be the ninth longest canal tunnel in the world. It is the only mainline canal tunnel in the United Kingdom with a coal loading wharf directly from an adjacent mine into the tunnel itself. In this respect it may be unique in the world. It is sited on the Cromford Canal which is itself a Site of Special Scientific Interest with a Terminus at the Cromford Mills which is itself a World Heritage Site.
Several other pages already refer to the Butterley Tunnel, maintaining a separate page will help the users of these pages find information about the tunnel more easily.
The article is already large enough to stand alone and would take the focus of the Cromford Canal page away from its main business, The Cromford Canal. Martin Cordon 20:42, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
