Oppose. Most sources do use Bloody January or some variation thereof but because of the several alternate names for this event it would be clearer if the article stayed with a conventional name. --(Roundish⋆t)15:14, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I just want to state here that the January Events or Qantar is actually a more commonly used to describe the event. At least as far as I heard from people in KZ. So had you proposed to rename that I might've supported it. ShadZ01 (talk) 02:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Under the heading "7 January" the final sentence of the third paragraph claims "It was not clear where Nazarbayev had gone, but he had apparently left the country for health reasons." This is just a laughable claim. No, Nazarbayev didn't flee because of "health reasons", any more than Yanukovych fled Ukraine "for health reasons". Both fled their respective countries because if they had been apprehended by protestors, they likely would've been lynched, and if they'd been caught by some factions in the government, they likely would've been prosecuted and imprisoned. There is no record of Nazarbayev seeking healthcare after fleeing Kazakhstan for Russia. And the notion of fleeing with one's entire family "for health reasons" is absurd. The source provided for the claim is a Czech news article which goes on to say this (GoogleTranslate's translation): "Of Nazarbayev's closest relatives, only his older brother Bolat remained in the country. There was also information that the nephew of the former president, Samat Abiš, was detained." So, Nazarbayev's family members were being arrested. Clearly this was not a coincidence. Was Nazarbayev in poor health at the time? It is possible, and yet I can find nothing in the Kazakh news sources from the first week of January saying so (which is in itself suggestive of him being in normal health for his age). So there simply isn't any evidence to support the claim that the reason he and most of his family fled Kazakhstan was because of his ill health. Consequently I am going to remove this claim.
