Rewriting the Article
Because the draft is in need of a rewrite, I have gone ahead and drafted what I hope is a good start, incorporating the references. As mentions, I have a declared COI and would appreciate if another editor can review the following and edit the draft as they see fit. NinaSpezz (talk) 21:18, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Comment
As nominator for NUKEANDPAVE for old article, I was asked to come look at the current draft. It is much much better than before and, imho, worthy of being an article. Thank you for all those who put in hours or work to make this happen. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:43, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
