 * Delete (or even Speedy Delete). This atricle doesn't seem to have anything significant or notable in it. I note the author appears to have create a number of similar article which seem to have been dogged with issues Rehnn83 Talk 09:23, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Weak Keep Needs better sourcing and it is self-proclaimed therefore it exercises no authority over baghdad city. However, it is somewhat notable
 * Weak Keep - there certainly is an administrative division (wilayah) of ISIL in the Baghdad region, and there are some sources pointing out that administration since the times of the Islamic State of Iraq (2006-2013), but there might be a problem in definition and separation with the Wilayat North Baghdad (ISIL) (is there such a separation indeed?).GreyShark (dibra) 16:19, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect ISIL territorial claims - or Delete - ISIL does not even hold this area (changed my mind) Legacypac (talk) 22:28, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete ISIS is not a state, it is a terrorist organization that controls territory. No actual state on the planet has recognized ISIS as a state. However many states, as well as the United Nations, have declared ISIS to be a terrorist organization. ISIS's "administrative zones" need to actually pass notability requirements to get an article. There are almost no reliable sources for this article, so it should be deleted or redirected. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 03:38, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete This group is not recognized as an official state and the group has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, India, the United States, Australia, Indonesia, Canada, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt. so how can it have an official province. Seems like another propaganda for ISIS like Wilayat Nineveh (ISIL). This article does not meet the general notability guide line and should be deleted. Mhhossein (talk) 18:41, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - why was this relisted? The article itself admits the subject does not exist. If I claim an administrative division over Baghdad but don't control it, do I get my own article too? Legacypac (talk) 19:13, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
