Even if Boring Test Tunnel is how TBC refers to it internally, I'm not convinced it counts as the WP:COMMONNAME, and there are other test tunnels that have been bored by other companies so it isn't WP:PRECISE. Nor should test and tunnel be capitalised per WP:TITLEFORMAT.
I'd suggest The Boring Company Hawthorne test tunnel; arguably the "The Boring Company test tunnel" would be more WP:CONCISE but there are likely to be other test tunnels for other TBC ventures in the future. Rosbif73 (talk) 11:01, 8 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Could not find a clear common name, so went with a [hopefully] descriptive title (per WP:NDESC). Vaguely hoping that after the press surrounding the opening on 10 December 2018 a clearer name will present itself. —Sladen (talk) 15:09, 8 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough, though if it isn't intended as a proper name then it should definitely be sentence case rather than title case. Anyway, let's hope you're right that a clearer common name will prevail once we have a few more secondary sources. Rosbif73 (talk) 15:22, 8 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
The speed that a car apparently achieved in that tunnel is not the operating speed of said tunnel. I will change it to 49mph if there are no objections. BeŻet (talk) 16:22, 7 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move reviewafter discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Boring test tunnel → Hawthorne test tunnel – Should be renamed per WP:COMMONNAME. Per sources mentioned within recent AfD, none of them refer to the tunnel as ‘Boring test tunnel’. It’s either ‘test tunnel’ / ‘Hawthorne test tunnel’ / ‘Hawthorne tunnel’.
