Name[edit]

Not sure why the article title mentions the Cocos (Keeling) Island(s) when it does not appear that the accident had anything to do with the islands. Maias (talk) 09:59, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it was the closest area to the wreck. Maybe we should title it "2009 Indian Ocean migrant boat disaster" instead? hbdragon88 (talk) 06:32, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Disaster" is non-neutral[edit]

I suggest that the word "disaster" is non-neutral and should not be used in the article title.

Related question: should this article be listed in List of accidents and disasters by death toll and/or List of maritime disasters? Mitch Ames (talk) 11:19, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
