In the Indian subcontinent, they are present mainly in Pakistan. Al-Qaeda has no presence in India, Nepal, Bangaldesh, Sri Lanka.
Al-Qaeda related terror incidents dominate Pakistan repeatedly. Other parts of Indian subcontinent don't have any Al-Qaeda related terror incidents, though Al-Qaeda claims to have connection which is never proved.TheAvengers 17:20, 13 December 2015 (UTC)reply

Oppose - It appears that the AQIS is a self-declared organisation which has enough coverage to warrant a Wikipage.
Al-Qaeda in Pakistan might also be a topic worthy of a Wiki page, but I don't see the need to mix up the two. -

Oppose - This article is about the organisation called Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent, founded in 2014 and lead by
Asim Umar. Al-Qaeda has a presence in lots of countries including Pakistan, but this article is about this specific affiliate.

Oppose - This article is about the affiliate established in September 2014 with the name Jama'at Qa'idat al-Jihad fi Shibh al-Qarrah al-Hindiyah. Per
WP:COMMONNAME, Wikipedia "generally prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This includes usage in the sources used as references for the article." The overwhelming majority of English sources, including the references currently cited in the article, refer to this affiliate as "al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent". This also happens to be the literal translation of the group's name. There are also some sources that refer to it as "al-Qaeda in South Asia," but this name is not as common as the other. I have not seen any sources that refer to this group as "al-Qaeda in Pakistan".
