Old, orphaned article from 2013 without a single source. Apparently created in Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 May 3#Category:Volcanic settlements, hence the lack of a source.
To me the article sounds like a lot of WP:OR and a violation of WP:LISTN as I've never seen any source that classifies cities by "This category does not include settlements merely threatened by volcanic activity but which are located at a distance away, and not located on the volcanic structure itself", although sources that discuss settlements threatened by volcanoes certainly exist. Some noteworthy omissions such as Honolulu ( Honolulu Volcanic Series), too, and some of the things mentioned are volcanoes not settlements.
This was discussed (briefly) on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Volcanoes#List of volcanic settlements where the suggestion was made to repurpose it into a list of settlements threatened by volcanoes. I don't think this would work a) this list is unsourced and much of the content wouldn't apply to a "cities threatened by volcanoes" list (and a lot of content that belongs in such a list is not here) and b) a list of cities threatened by volcanoes would probably violate WP:SALAT as it would be quite long unless we picked quite arbitrary inclusion criteria.
