Request Move
editThere is another article, Qurghonteppa Oblast, that also could be Qurghonteppa. I recommend moving the current Qurghonteppa page to Qurghonteppa city, currently a redirect to this page, and making Qurghonteppa into a disambig.David Straub (talk) 15:35, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Qurghonteppa → Bokhtar, Tajikistan – Qurghonteppa was renamed (in English) in January 2018 Voltmetro 20:26, 23 January 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. — Zawl 13:06, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Moving Bokhtar (city) to Bokhtar, Tajikistan does not provide sufficient disambiguation, because Bokhtar District is also in Tajikistan. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:14, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose until there is evidence of a widespread change in usage in reliable secondary sources. — AjaxSmack 02:40, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Etymology
editThe name "Qurghonteppa" and especially its Russian version "Kurgan-Tyube" appears very Turkic ("Kurgan-Töbe" perhaps, meaning "Kurgan Peak" or "Kurgan Hill"; see KZ Aqtöbe → RU Aktyubinsk). Does anyone have sources to support or refute this so that it may be added to the article? AnonymousMusician (talk) 23:47, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
Use of the name Bohktar
edit"Bokhtar" has since been used by numerous widely-known news organizations, and subsequently I will rename the page. Here are news articles using the name Bokhtar:
