From my dispute with Christopher Buyers (the owner of the Royal Ark) four years ago:
These concerns are still valid. -- Ghirla -трёп- 21:17, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
The article states: "Presumably of Iranian origin and a branch of the Mihranid House". However every Western source (including the Cambridge history of Iran) identifies them as Iranian origin of Mihranid house. It seems that sometimes the USSR writing (for local nation building consumption) was geared towards hiding the Iranian origin of many dynasties in Caucasian Albania, Armenia and Georgia. Of course I am not denying that these dynasties took up the local culture and became partially or fully Geoergified/Armenianized. -- Nepaheshgar ( talk) 15:30, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Ehsan Yarshater and David Marshall Lang both report in the Cambridge History of Iran (Yarshater, Ehsan (1968). The Cambridge History of Iran, Vol. 3 : The Seleucid, Parthian, and Sasanian periods. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 978-0-521-20092-9., pp. lviii, 520) that the Chosroids were a branch of the House of Mihran. And there are many more high-quality WP:RS sources that confirm the same thing.

I rewrote parts of this article. A simple search shows that in fact most academics/historians consider them as a branch of the Mihranids. I added 6 more academics/historians that attest to this; Yarshater (1983), Rapp (2003), Lang (1971), Pourshariati (2008), Hussey (1966), Lenski (2003), Badakjian & La Porta (2014). Melikishvili, a Soviet historian, is literally the only one who openly doubts their Mihranid origins. The article used to portray the case as if its some kind of "disputed matter" amongst the scholarly community, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Per WP:UNDUE, WP:VER and WP:RS, I removed Melikishvili. Best, - LouisAragon ( talk) 18:27, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
