2024 Mozambique boat disaster → ? – Mozambique is quite a big place. Surely we can get more specific. I am not familiar with the region, however, and will let more informed editors decide on a new name. Bremps... 03:40, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How about Sinking of the Zico? 3df (talk) 11:18, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support That wouldn't be a bad name. It would be consistent with the Sinking of the Titanic or the Sinking of the MV Sewol. Bremps... 17:06, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support However I think we should alter this slightly to Sinking of the Zico (Mozambique) as the Zico is not a famous ship and another boat might carry that name. Enoryt nwased lamaj (talk) 21:51, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this page needs to be protected. I see someone putting more than "100 very lucky people" in the casulaties. Sapnor (talk) 13:03, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
