Why is this article considered "low-importance" in Wiki Project Shipwreck? It will probably end up having ten times the fatalities of the Costa Concordia which is considered high-importance. It's also part of a much larger pattern of shipwrecks of migrants in the early 21st century, perhaps second only to the SIEV X disaster. Judging by your criteria, this should be high-importance, especially given the historical significance. Bruxism ( talk) 04:47, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
These incidents appear to have triggered a change in policy. The EU started funding Sudan, including the Bashir-regime, to block refugees from Ethiopia ad Somalia. In this particular incident the survivor stories tell the level of brain drain in the countries of origin. To local standard these refugees were very wealthy, comparable to millionaires. To add insult to damage trafficking organizations face decades of indulgence in EU prisons, while in this particular case the EU previously had denied the captain to stay. Also Italia started a mud flinging contest, putting their own personnel involved on trial. Plenty of reasons to never tell these stories again. 77.173.226.152 ( talk) 13:06, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
It may well be that the Shipwreck importance level should be revised, and it may happen as the article develops (I am not a member of that project, so not clear how that functions). But it is not a simple question of Fatalities=Importance, there is a much wider range of considerations than that. Davidships ( talk) 00:06, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
5) This is something important that was missed in the article: http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2013-12-15/news/lampedusa-tragedy-a-case-of-political-bravado-gone-wrong-3465871382/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.11.81.101 ( talk) 13:42, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Most newspapers make reference to "Lampedusa", not Med sea. [1] 219.73.122.176 ( talk) 23:27, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

2013 Mediterranean Sea migrant shipwreck →
2013 Lampedusa migrant shipwreck – The shipwreck occurred within a quarter mile of the island of Lampedusa. Most sources - for example
[2],
[3],
[4],
[5],
[6],
[7] - make use of the name Lampedusa in headlines and summaries. Other shipwrecks in apparently similar circumstances (
2009 Mediterranean Sea migrant shipwreck,
2011 Mediterranean Sea migrant shipwreck) took place much further out at sea, and in one case (
May 2007 Malta migrant shipwreck) the article uses the name of the island even though the wreck was at a much greater distance.

PS: We now have a second migrant shipwreck -
[8] - on 11 October, in which at least 27 and possibly 50 have died, 120 km off Lampedusa. This second shipwreck may also require a separate article. This strengthens the argument for the 3 October shipwreck to be described as the
2013 Lampedusa migrant shipwreck, as it took place immediately off the island's coast and not in the middle of the sea.

I suggest including statistics of the victims. Below I have written statistics based on the official survivors list published by the Italian Immigration on October 4th 2013. I propose to include the following statistics based on that document.
"On October 4 2013, the Republicca daily news paper, published a list of survivors of the tragedy compiled by the immigration office of Italy ( http://download.repubblica.it/pdf/2013/cronaca/sopravvissuti_lampedusa.pdf ). According to the document 152 of the survivors were from Eritrea and one was from Tunisia. Only five of the survivors were females. The average age of the survivors was 22 with the youngest being 11 years old and the oldest 48."
I also suggest amending the 155 to 153 survivors elsewhere in this entry, since other sources cited only give estimates. As of yet I was unable to find official statistics of the victims that's sad. However according to survivors' story, victims were overwhelmingly from Eritrea (example interview of survivor with Assenna radio, also reported at Awate.com, an Eritrean diaspora news site).
