War in Iraq (2013–2017) →
War in Iraq (2014–2017) – Sources, media and people refer to the
June 4 ISIL offensive in Iraq, in which ISIL fighters came from syria and expanded their territory in Iraq from controlling just Fallujah to 40% of Iraqi territory, as the beginning of the “war”. Most sources don’t date the beginning of the war in december 2013 when clashes broke out only in the towns of ramadi and fallujah. Here are articles that indicate the war begun in the 2014 june offensive:
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/02/kurdish-leader-isis-conflict-iraq-iran/606502/ “ Kurdish fighters, called peshmerga, defended their territory from the ISIS onslaught in 2014”,
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42291985 “ The jihadist group had seized large swathes of Syria and Iraq in 2014”,
https://www.dw.com/en/iraq-declares-end-of-war-against-islamic-state/a-41724333 “IS rose to notoriety in 2014, when it captured large swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria, culminating in the sacking and occupation of Mosul.”,
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/12/9/iraqi-pm-abadi-declares-end-of-war-against-isil “The quick advance by ISIL in Iraq began in 2014.“ also “Saturday’s announcement marks the end of the three-year war to drive ISIL out of Iraq.” 3 minus 2017 equals 2014 which means the article says the war started in 2014.

I expected that this problem wouldn’t matter if we moved to Iraq–ISIL War, but that didn’t get consensus.

War in Iraq (2013–2017) → War against ISIS in Iraq – picking this specifically because this phrasing (or a variation of this with "ISIL" instead of "ISIS") was used frequently during the time this war was taking place.

War in Iraq (2013–2017) → Second Iraq War – The proposed title is more recognizable and understandable to the readers. It is precise as well as more concise than the current lengthier title. "Second Iraq War" is also the more popular common name than the current title. ( Ngram search results) . Some readers could be confused by the current title and equate it with the war waged by the United States in Iraq during 2003-2011, which is known as the Iraq war.
