Nevado del Ruiz

 * Nominator(s): &mdash; Ceran  ( Strike! )

I'm nominating this article for featured article because I've done my best to expand this article on a truly beautiful and dangerous volcano in Colombia. This stratovolcano caused the deadliest lahar in recorded history and killed some 28,000 people. Therefore, I'm donating this work to them. I've worked long and hard over this article, harder than I have on any other, and I think it's ready to be featured. &mdash; Ceran  ( Strike! ) 00:37, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment 185 free English news sources for the volcano. Are you sure it's comprehensive? ~  one of many editorofthewikis ( talk / contribs / editor review )  ~ 00:51, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, they all talk about the eruption. I was not missing any info about the eruption, but the scientific aspect of the volcano. News sources don't make an article comprehensive, nevermind sources at all. Comprehensiveness is how the article reads. &mdash; Ceran  ([speak] ) 00:58, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * More importantly, 1500 scholarly sources from scholar.google.com. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 01:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * i've reviewed at least 300 of them, and based on my review the ones I have were as far as I got without info repeats or unecessary information. &mdash; Ceran  [speak] 01:17, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * (ec) Unless this is an article in which there is an incredibly large amount of information available, we assume that you include pretty much everything except some amazingly trivial points. You see what I am doing to 1964 Gabon coup d'etat, and that is much less known than NdR. Come on -- there must me more available than 20kbs on a very famous volcano! Also, I don't see the logic in how news sources do not make an article comprehensive. They can be used to make it so. ~  one of many editorofthewikis ( talk / contribs / editor review )  ~ 01:21, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 26 books with "Nevado del Ruiz" in the title. I suggest withdrawal. ~  one of many editorofthewikis ( talk / contribs / editor review )  ~ 01:24, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Consider it done. And you know what? I've grown steadily and steadily more bored of this MMORPG. I can't sleep as well, I spend a ton of time on the computer, I don't have any fun anymore. This place is just ruining my life, and I'm sadly feeling on the verge of extinction. Tipping over... &mdash; Ceran  [speak] 01:28, 12 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose. This isn't ready.  Ceranthor asked me to do a copy-edit, and I made a brief start, plus added some comments, e.g. about structure.  These have been ignored, in some cases with vague reference to personal referencing style.  The article is on its way, but more needs to be done.  --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 02:22, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * withdraw - Done and over. Obviously I haven't paid enough attention.


 * Sandy, I've stood for this too long. For over a year it just seems that you despise me. I have tried numerous times to resolve the conflict but nothing seems to work. What do you have against me? &mdash; Ceran  [speak] 11:32, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
