Oppose There is a big difference between Islamabad Capital Territory and Islamabad city. Islamabad city makes up only half the population of Islamabad Capital Territory, the rest is considered rural (in name). --

Support - what is missing in this discussion is a definition of the limits of the territory and the city. They are exactly the same. In 2015, the law was changed to create the
Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation headed by the
Mayor of Islamabad, together with a number of Union Councils as lower-level units. If you read section 9(a) under chapter 3 (page 9 of the webpage) of the
Act, you will see it says:
(a) Metropolitan Corporation for the Islamabad Capital Territory; and
The law of Pakistan clearly states that the Metropolitan Corporation covers the Capital Territory. Not part of it, but the whole of it. There is no mention of excluding or including urban or rural areas. The City of Islamabad is therefore exactly the same as the Capital Territory. It therefore makes sense to merge the two articles as suggested by the anonymous IP.

Support unless there is sufficient and reliable evidence to the contrary. The claim that Islamabad (ISB) and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) are not the same is probably (1) based upon the situation pre 1967, (2) the result of confusing the term "Islamabad Capital Territory" with "Federal Capital Territory", and (3) based upon the misconception that "rural" Islamabad cannot be part of the city Islamabad, but ICT. There is no difference in the actual usage of the name ISB all over ICT (for example when talking about
Margalla Hills which are supposed to be outside urban ISB or "Islamabad city"). It is "
Greater Islamabad" which would be extended beyond ICT to include all of
Rawalpindi.

Oppose Islamabad is a city and is completely different from a province/territory. The Islamabad Capital Territory is a territory that contains the city of Islamabad. The Islamabad Capital Territory does not only hold the city Islamabad, but also other towns such as Rawat, Saidpur and several others.

Not done: It is cited, also I don't think that there's a full "official list" since it's not really an official thing. Maybe I can get some grants from the UN to run the UN Sister City Registry.

According to the Pakistani Wiki article, the correct spelling is اسلام آباد (two words). At the top of this English article, there's no space: اسلامآباد.
