Accuracy of death toll report

[edit]

The official death toll for this casualty is 1,565, although some estimates still put the real number over 4,000. The best reference I've found for this is here: http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/750445 Is there something more authoritative to support a higher number?Alan (talk) 17:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The page looks like a mirror of Wikipedia itself; probably an older version on the MV Doña Paz article. — •KvЯt GviЯnЭlБ• Speak! 13:42, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name of oil tanker

[edit]

Which referenced source gives the name of the oil tanker as Vector? I've followed a few of them (such as this one), but they call it the Victor. Johnson487682 (talk) 17:42, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why the uncertainity?

[edit]

It is hard to fathom the number of victims was not precisely counted in situ? The article says the ships sank in 545 meters of water, which doesn't even require an ROV expedition, as the wreck is also reachable by athmospheric diving suit pilots or tri-mix saturation divers with a diving bell mother-ship. 82.131.128.123 (talk) 21:04, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Collision?

[edit]

Although this article has a section named "Collision", it doesn't have actual information about the collision: time of day (night), how it happened, etc. The conditions beforehand are documented, and the aftermath is as well, but nothing about the actual crash. This is perhaps the post important information about this ship. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:48, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which vessel was unseaworthy?

[edit]

This sentence is in the lead: "However, official blame was directed at the tanker Vector, that collided with the Doña Paz, which was found to be unseaworthy and operating without a license, a lookout, or a qualified master." The clause that begins with "which" strictly refers to the Doña Paz — but it's not until the third para of Reactions and aftermath that the reader discovers that the Vector was unseaworthy and operating without a license, a lookout, or a qualified master. I suggest that the sentence be modified by removing "that collided with the Doña Paz", because the first paragraph has already imparted that knowledge to the reader.

4 Year Old Survivor & Francisco Minggote

[edit]

All the other survivors have ages listed, except for Francisco Minggote. A 4-year old boy is known to have survived. By process of elimination, one might assume the 4 year-old survivor IS Francisco Minggote. Should this speculation be referenced in the article? Many ages are unsourced.Uchiha Itachi 25 (talk) 05:08, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Misinformation in Casualty Count

[edit]

"During January 1999 a presidential task force report estimated... that there were 4,342 passengers. Subtracting the 26 surviving passengers, and adding 58 crew, gives 4,374 on-board fatalities. Adding the 11 dead from the Vector crew, the total becomes 4,385, almost three times the design load."

It was determined that 24 passengers survived along with 2 crew from the Victor and earlier in the wiki article, not 26 passengers. There were a listed 59 crew instead of 58 for the Dona Pas. 4,342 passengers with 24 alive is 4,318. Going with the original 59 crew and 11 dead from The Victor, my math adds the death count up to 4,388 instead of 4,385. Please let me know if I am missing something.

Hello @TheNuggeteer:. Why should this article not be redirected, given that of the six references previously in this article, two were duplicated and have been merged, one isn't reliable, one offers only trivial coverage, and one only mentions the ship in relation to the disaster (and I can't read the sixth)?--Launchballer 20:46, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see nothing here that establishes notability of this ship for a standalone article on Wikipedia. There are only four sources in this article. The newspaper photogragh posted to Flickr is not a full-fledged news article. The UPI archives article has only a passing mention of the MV Don Claudio. The Kansai Shipbuilding Association Journal entry is just a list of technical specifications. The citation to Philippine Ship Spotters Society is a self-published document on Wordpress, which is a deprecated source. I feel like this is a candidate for deletion or merging, and not for DYK.
