A search on Google Scholar shows that results for "[https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C33&q=%22Median+state%22&btnG= Median state]" do not always refer to the Median political entity, furthermore it is not very common to refer to political entities from the Ancient Era as "states". On the other hand, a search for "[https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C33&q=%22Median+kingdom%22&btnG= Median kingdom]" always gives the correct results. "Median Empire" is also a valid title, I would support it too. But since the existence of such an empire is questionable, the title "Median kingdom" would be the most ideal. {{u|Amakuru}}, {{u|Ahecht}}.

Wikidata

We have a Wikidata page for the Medes and another for the Media region/satrapy. I was thinking about creating one just for the Median kingdom/empire because the organization of the items is very confusing in my opinion. Mawer10 (talk) 16:44, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
