Zanjan Khanate

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Per. There doesn't seem to be any proof that this entity existed. Leading sources such as Islamica, EI3 and Iranica don't even mention it in their article about the Afshars, which apparently ruled this entity. HistoryofIran (talk) 10:38, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I can’t find a single scholarly work referring to this alleged khanate. There are lots of wiki mirrors and the whole thing is based on what two sources apparently say. Even on the face of it the claim makes little sense since the ruling family in Zanjan is claimed to have been Afsharid, following independence from …… the Afsharids.  Someone has garbled the source or this is some sort of fake history.  Mccapra (talk) 12:43, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
