CoilCoil (disambiguation)Helix should be the primary redirecting topic for this page. All other significant entries are so-named because of their shape being a helix. WT79 (speak to me | editing patterns | what I been doing) 16:05, 24 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:26, 24 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Crouch, Swale: Can't quite see the reasoning of that second sentence... is this a typo? WT79 (speak to | editing analysis | edit list) 08:48, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@WT79: I don't understand, I can't see a typo? The helix article doesn't appear to qualify as a broad-concept article and the band gets a reasonable number of views so I don't see a primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:09, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I see the logic a bit now. It was the way you said 'more likely', I think you meant 'as likely' (slightly less). Sorry, WT79 (speak to | editing analysis | edit list) 14:11, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@BarrelProof: This was what I mainly had in mind with my original request. A coil spring is just a wire bent in a helical path. This means that our article coil spring describes the springy cushioning properties of such a shape, and the article helix describes just the shape. I don't think the article about the springy properties qualifies as a potential primary topic, just like History of England wouldn't be thought of as a potential primary topic for the title England.
