This category was nominated for renaming on 19 April 2015. The result of the discussion was no consensus.

Rationale[edit]

I added the Category: Migrant boat incidents because the articles I had drafted and had in mind involved strictly small boats but if any native speaker of English language feels that a Category: Migrant vessel incidents or a Category: (Maritime) Incidents involving ... (migrant boats or migrant vessels, this or that) fits better for a broader coverage to comprise this one and such articles as May 2007 Malta migrant boat disaster and December 2007 Seferihisar, Turkey migrant boat disaster, and why not, MS St. Louis and Voyage of the Damned, feel free to rename accordingly.

Migrant boat incidents[edit]

Hello Ser Amantino! I saw your edits on migrant boat-related incidents on some of which I tried to bring a contribution or two of my own. I would appreciate if you could take a look at the questions I raised here Category Talk: Migrant boat incidents and comment if you judge necessary. I asked a couple of other users whom I thought would show interest. I am not fully comfortable with the present terminology under which I categorized the incidents treated in relevant articles and a few recent examples such as the discussions which took place around Upper Big Branch disaster leads me into thinking that the best suitable wording is primordial even when the event's front page potential hopes are rather slight.

I think the terminology's fine, myself. I don't see anything wrong with the phrase "migrant boat" - it sounds perfectly proper to me. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
