Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Chah Morid District”, the useful work is to connect “district in Kerman province, Iran” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28859559. Authority coordinates are 27.954, 57.499. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2016 and 2011.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
