Requested move

Qazvin (city) → Qazvin – Requested by User:Mukadderat with rationale: "City is main topic, others are secondary derivatives" —Wknight94 (talk) 19:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Support: I'd also support moving the province to Qazvin but the city makes more sense to me since it's clearly the major focus of the province (like Los Angeles redirects to the city, not the county or greater L.A. area). —Wknight94 (talk) 19:50, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Population of Qazvin

The figure for population given by the text of the article (330,000) and the infobox (1.1 million) are completely different. Which one is right? Someone the Person (talk) 14:31, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Founding?

The wikilink in the introduction reads "Shapur I" but goes to the page for Shapur II. Is there any good reason for this? Which one of them founded the city? The date we give in the intro (250 CE) fits for Shapur I, but other sources I've checked say the city was founded in the 4th century CE, which would fiit Shapur II. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 17:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Persian Wiki says there is controversy about that and Shapur II is written in some books and Shapur the first in other Books .
Anyway , I changed it to Shapur II . --Alborz Fallah (talk) 14:44, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Thanks! 65.213.77.129 (talk) 15:07, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

citation needed

Bombed and occupied by Russian forces in both World Wars, Qazvin is also the place from which the famous coup d’état that led to the rise of the first Pahlavi dynasty was launched in 1921.

- the bold text is unsupportable, taken by the Russians in cooperation with the British in the Second World War ( 1935- 1945 ) yes, but ( First World War 1914 - 1918 ) is the bit in contest. Cite it or remove it. Should someone Cite it ( first war ), the museum will evaluate the citation seriously. Not found in forty years at the museum.

Origins of the Name of Qazvin

Qazvin is the Arabic name for Caspian and when invaded by Islam during the reign of Omar Ibn Khattab,2nd Islamic khalif after Abubaker the name was changed to Qazvin,strange part is that Caspian sea is labeled as Bahrol-Qazvin in Arabic maps and is known as Caspian Sea all over the world except in Iranian maps which is labeled as Khazar sea,why? no one that I've seen seems to know! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.32.27.171 (talk) 15:52, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

explosion

[1] is this notable? Victor Grigas (talk) 04:56, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notable people

To the IP editor who is adding the name of a carpet merchant to the article - please provide a source for your assertion. The article shouldn't contain a list of everyone who is from this place - it should be people who are notable, which means that they must be discussed in published sources. If you can find such a source, we can add the name to the article; let me know if you're not sure how to do that and I will help you. GirthSummit _(blether) 13:36, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
