Talk:Khandan Castle

Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Given that this is identified with Zadracarta, should the two articles be merged?

Dear @Moriwen:,

Thank you for your message and for your attention to this matter.

I believe it may not be a good idea to merge the two articles. In almost every architectural or archaeological encyclopedia, many of which are published in Iran and in Persian, the two subjects are treated as separate entries, as it is believed that the two castles might be the same and located on the same spot, though no one is entirely sure.

Additionally, Encyclopaedia Iranica states that "a more plausible suggestion for the location of Zadracarta seems to be the site of Qalʿa-ye Ḵandān," but acknowledges the uncertainty.

Therefore, I would suggest keeping them as two separate entries. However, I defer to your expertise, as well as that of other knowledgeable editors, to make the final decision.

P.S. I will update the bottom line of the entry to match what is written in Iranica. Hounaam (talk) 21:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
