Original - Kukenan Tepui at Sunset, from Tëk River Base Camp.

Reason: Principal reason: very poor quality images of the whole Gran Sabana and Canaima National Park. No high-quality images of Kukenan Tepui in the article describing it. Second: this is a difficult place to reach. The trip to the Kukenan takes three days on foot. The tepuy is not reachable by car. Available pictures of Kukenan tepui have very little quality. It is also quite rare to have good lighting conditions and no clouds in front of a tepui, so, a picture like this, is quite uncommon. And finally, there are few high-quality pictures of Gran Sabana National Park, that's why I think this one should be included in featured ones. Kukenan`s height is about 2700 mts. It is located in Venezuela, Gran Sabana National Park, in Bolivar State, near the borderline with Brazil and Guyana.

- Nice and illustrative picture, problem is it's not used in any article... ■ MMXX ^talk 15:01, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm sorry. Had edited the articles, but forgot to save. Fixed! Paolostefano1412 (talk) 18:09, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Might I suggest suspending this nomination for a week? You are meant to wait that long before nominating, so that any article editors with objections have time to do so. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:12, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - No problem. I will re-nominate in about ten days. I took the liberty of editing because the pictures used in those pages were really low quality, with disturbing objects in the middle, and bad lighting. Don't think anyone will disagree. But you are right, I'll wait a bit. What should I do in this case? Do I have to completely erase the nomination from the list of candidates? - You are at liberty of erasing the nomination yourself if you want to. Paolo (talk) 23:08, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Speedy close is the the term you're looking for. I think one of the page admins needs to do it? Pine _{(was GreenPine)} ^talk 07:10, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        If 'we' want to insist on waiting a week (I believe it's just a recommendation anyway, not an actual rule/criterion?), why don't we just put it into Suspended nominations for a week rather than Speedying it and making Paolostefano1412 go through creating another nom? --jjron (talk) 11:56, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suspended for a week. Makeemlighter (talk) 15:33, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This has now been reopened with a new nomination page. My suggestion would be, rather than formally closing this old nom and listing it as unsuccessful (which will look confusing in the archive) we should just redirect it. Chick Bowen 21:05, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
