Sardasht isnot part of this province

Untitled

It is located in West Azarbaijan province, to the north of Kurdistan. Heja Helweda 04:39, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mahabad Republic must be removed from this page

Republic of Mahabad was created in and around the city of Mahabad. The city isnot inside the boundaries of Kurdistan province in Iran. The issue has already been discussed in the Kurdistan page.

Most of this article should be transferred to an article of Kurds in general. The history section is not about the province of Kurdistan in Iran. I seriously suspect that the reason is that Iranian authors with nationalistic intents want to portray Kurds as being Iranians and therefore add these long passages of Kurdic resistance against Arab invasions. User:Amir85 is notorious for this - he has written Persian nationalistic propaganda on several articles, including the outrageous claim that the Persians invented a conmplete charta of human rights more than 2500 years ago! (See his deleted postings in history of Cyrus Cylinder.

For now, I have removed some unsupported claims of Kurd resistance in 636 AD: the Kurds lived in the Roman empire during that year, not in the Persian! --Sponsianus 22:56, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Several points:

Amir85 did not add any "long passages" of "Kurdic resistance" against Arab invasions - only a sentence.
Contrary to your claims, the article originally focused only on the history of Iranian Kurdistan, not on the larger geographical area, before you made your edits, which also are not supported (claiming that Romans ruled over Iranian Kurdistan). I have removed your paragraph, which probably is better suited for Kurdistan (the greater geographical area) rather than this article which focuses only on Iranian Kurdistan, and it should be clarified as to how much of the area of Kurdistan they ruled over (i.e. did their rule extend into Iran?)
The Kurds are most definitely an Iranian people. I'm not sure why you would dispute this.

That said, I've done a bit of copyediting for now, but this article still needs a great deal of work and expansion - and the writing in the history section could use improvement. I'll dig up what references I can find on this subject in the meantime and add what I can.

Kurdish name in the lead

The province is called Kurdistan and the population is majority Kurdish. So we should have a Kurdish alternate name per WP:NCGN. It's really a no brainer. Also, the native name should be in Kurdish since the natives are majority Kurdish. That's a no brainer too. Okay 94.176.90.195 from Iran? Étienne Dolet (talk) 06:59, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. It is an administrative province of Iran, so its name should be just what Iran calls it and what its English-language equivalent is, unless sources show a Kurdish alternative name that has official status. We do not have Kurdish language alternatives for Erzurum Province or Eastern Anatolia Region. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:38, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The province is spelled Kordestan in Iran, not Kurdistan (which is the English variant). The name of this page should be changed to Kordestan.

The geography section reads like something straight out of a tourism brochure. NPOV? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:2012:406:0:DDA7:9C7B:5BF9:57A4 (talk) 11:27, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kurdistan Province → Kordestān Province – The correct name of this Iranian Province is Kordestān and not „Kurdistan“ Coron Arol (talk) 12:07, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose According to Iranica Online, it is Kurdistan Province[1]. Please use sources for your claims. --Ahmedo Semsurî (talk) 13:03, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose move for lack of sources. O.N.R. ^(talk) 16:34, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This is how it's spelled in English. Also we shouldn't use macrons per Wikipedia:USEENGLISH and Wikipedia:TSC. Btw I would be careful with using Iranica as a source for how names are spelled, since it's incorrect in many in cases due to using the Modern Persian spelling for various names. --HistoryofIran (talk) 16:55, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but Iranica was just one of many references that use'Kurdistan'. Others are: [2][3] --Ahmedo Semsurî (talk) 17:08, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
