Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Sinai Province → Ansar Bait al-Maqdis – There have been many discussions [] on moving Ansar Bait al-Maqdis to ISIL-Sinai Province,  Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant presence in Sinai (Egypt), and ISIL in Sinai. They all failed, as the two are the same group and the new Sinai designation is clear in the ABM wiki. The two articles now contain duplicate information, and is causing confusion.

 * Oppose; there is a clear delineation between the two groups. There were some members of ABM who didn't join Sinai Province and remained part of AQ. . In addition, there is another militant group called Al Murabitoun that is loyal to AQ, David O. Johnson (talk) 16:48, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Proposed merger
Merged content from Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis to here. Both articles contain info of the same thing. Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis prety much changed it's name and propaganda.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 16:40, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis no longer exists, but is useful as an historical article. Only part of it became Sinai Province, others split off into groups like Ajnad Misr Gazkthul (talk) 06:14, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
