- ^ Geoffrey Migiro, Is Tibet a Country?, worldatlas.com, September 14, 2018:"Tibet is an autonomous region of People’s Republic of China which was established in 1965 to replace an administrative region known as Tibet Area which they inherited from Republic of China."
It is not clear to me how worldatlas.com can be a reliable source for anything. Who is Geoffrey Migiro? What are his credentials for making historical claims? As per WP:RS only published sources can be RS, and as per WP:HISTRS, reliable sources for history have to be at a minimum scholarly sources. This is none of those.
Even assuming that this source is saying something reasonable, it is only saying that Tibet was an "administrative region" (whatever that means). It doesn't say "province-level administrative division".
There is no such thing called "Tibet Area" in the ROC era mentioned in any scholarly source. So I find this claim entirely dubious bordering on WP:HOAX, and it is all the more ridiculous for it to be the lead sentence. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 01:26, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
