Section on topographic data[edit]

So, uh, I don't really want to remove this stuff wholesale but this: The height of the nearest key col is 4624 meters).^[1] so its prominence is 1391 meters. Uturunco is listed as mountain subrange, based on the Dominance system ^[2] and its dominance is 23.13%. Its parent peak is Pili and the Topographic isolation is 122.6 kilometers. ^[3] feels like too much intricate detail for a general page on a volcano and some of the sources don't appear to support the claims.

Removed content[edit]

Removed these notes and the prominence data^[4] because the discussion here was rather ambiguous on whether we should keep these sources ^[a]^[b]

Notes

^ Other data from digital elevation models: SRTM yields 5,999 metres (19,682 ft),^[5] ALOS 5,981 metres (19,623 ft)^[6] and TanDEM-X 6,040 metres (19,820 ft).^[7]
^ The height of the nearest key col is 4,624 metres (15,171 ft), leading to a topographic prominence of 1,391 metres (4,564 ft) with a topographical dominance of 23.13%. Its parent peak is Acamarachi and the Topographic isolation is 122.6 kilometres (76.2 mi).^[4]
