Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Neklinovsky District” as district in the Rostov Oblast of Russia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2021, 2010, 2002, 1989—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1936. The account is most persuasive where Neklinovsky, District and district can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as district in the Rostov Oblast of Russia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

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 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2217404. VIAF identifies the subject as 135036206. The Library of Congress control number is n96043841. Authority coordinates are 47.416, 38.899. 2 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2010, 2002 and 1989.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. 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.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
