This is map of khanates Caucasian and Persian Azerbaican (In history Persian province). This is not Azerbaicani khanates, because Azerbaican was formed in 20 th. 109.252.73.48 01:44, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep First of all, in history the khanates were not a Persian province. Only some of them were in part vassals of Persia. Seondly, there are large number of reliable academic sources that use term "Azerbaijani khanates" for both Northern and Southern khanates. Even during the period of khanates most documents used the term "Azerbaijani khans", including the ruler of Guba khanate, Fathali Khan. But all this discussion about the name of the khanates is not about the image.

- Keep The deletion request is (irani) nationalistic nonsense. The region is historicly known as Azerbaijan and also the khanates are called azerbaijani khanates. Source for this are given in the file description. --Don-kun (talk) 05:10, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- Weak delete This file must be renamed. The designation "Azerbaijani khanates", in relation to all khanates, uses only one autor - Tadeusz Swietochowski (whose book is devoted to the history of Azerbaijan in the 20th century). For exemple authoritative Russian historian Anatoly Novoseltsev argued that it is wrong to call the Kuban Khanate "Azerbaijani". Most authors also argue that Khanates of Yerevan and Nakhichevan were located in Eastern Armenia, and not in "Azerbaijan" (etc. ...). More neutral names for this file are - "Khanate of the Caucasus and Iran" or "Persian khanates" (because all khanates were at least de-jure vassals of Persia). --Rs4815 (talk) 08:30, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Названиена карте искажает историю. Азербайджан как страна возникла в 1918 году и соотвественно эти ханства ни как не могут быть «азербайджанскими». 109.252.72.220 02:09, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
Keep. Прочитайте комментарии в предыдущей номинации. Тогда были приведены аргументы по поводу того, что термин "Азербайджанские ханства" (Azerbaijani khanates или Azeri khanates) широко используется рядом авторитетных авторов. Даже во время самих ханства их правителей называли "адербейджанскими ханами" в той или иной форме. Даже сам губинский Фатали хан писал Екатерине II (в конце 1782 г.), что весь Азербайджане недоволен поступками царя Ираклия и Ибрагим-хана (заключением в тюрьму гянджинского и ереванского ханов). Он, Фатали-хан, «за должность свою признал, чтобы честь и право адырбайджанских ханов защитить» (О. П. Маркова. Россия, Закавказье и международные отношения в XVIII веке. Наука. Москва, 1966. Стр. 176.). Так, что название никак историю не искажает. В 1918 году появилась Азербайджанская Демократическая Республика. Исторический же регион Азербайджан, как и Азербайджанские ханства были задолго до этого. --Interfase (talk) 05:00, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

- «Даже во время самих ханства их правителей называли "адербейджанскими ханами"», далеко не всегда, далеко не всеми и далеко не всех ханств Закавказья.
- «Исторический же регион Азербайджан», как находился к югу от Аракса, так и находится по сей день. --Rs4815 (talk) 20:46, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- «далеко не всегда...». Ключевое слово называли
- «как находился к югу от Аракса». В годы ханств название Азербайджан в той или иной форме распространялось и на территории самих ханств. --Interfase (talk) 13:33, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- Каких ханств? Кто называл? И где источники? --Rs4815 (talk) 11:54, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
Weak delete My arguments remain the same. Read above. --Rs4815 (talk) 20:46, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
Keep Per above. Azerbaijani nation existed well before the formal proclamation of independence in 1918. Brandmeister (talk) 17:48, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- Azerbaijani nation began its existence only in 1918. Do not confuse nation and ethnicity. And by the way, that issue has nothing to do with this topic. --Rs4815 (talk) 11:57, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

- Rename the file instead of deleting it -- "Azerbaijani Khanates" is clearly not the correct/neutral nomenclature, as evidenced by the massive amount of Western scholars who specialize in the region's history;

By 1813, the restraints of these other military engagements were removed, and following a number of defeats, Iran was forced to sign the Gulistan (Golestan) agreement.

- Comment I think renaming would be a bad idea. This file has been renamed many times in its history, going through the following names:

- So this is not just a naming dispute, but a file content dispute, and the way we deal with those on Commons is by hosting both versions and allowing projects to choose whichever they prefer. Since the file's name and content have been stable for two years, I think those who want a different file with a different name should upload the different file under the different name. I don't think there's any technical problem with converting File:Khanates of the Caucasus in the 18th-19th centuries.png from a redirect into a file page. --bjh21 (talk) 23:07, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
