 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

ISIS is a terrorist organization that controls territory, not a state so it's Wilayats are not automatically assumed to be notable. There are almost no reliable sources covering this article, so it should therefore be deleted. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 02:14, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete both 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. These articles do not meet the general notability guide line and should be deleted. Mhhossein (talk) 03:40, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - There are no ISIL Governorates - and ISIL does not even hold this region. A fictitious non-entity. Be better is Greyshark would stop recreating these one line "articles" with bogus sources like a pro-Assad blog. Legacypac (talk) 19:46, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
