Article is a content fork of Libyan Army (1951–2011) and National Liberation Army (Libya). Its "Libyan Arab Jamahiriya period" and "Combat Experience" sections are verbatim copy-pastes from the former article, and its "2011 transitional period and restructuring" section is a copy-paste from the latter.

Firstly for futher discussion of this issue please refer to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Libyan National Army. No point in copy-pasting arguments and posts. Secondly, content fork is no reason for deletion or merge. POV fork is. Also as the nominated article deals with organization in existence since 1959 till today, while second one deals with 1959-2011 period. That one is POV fork.

The article Libyan Army (1951–2011) has a history of years, whereas Libyan Ground Forces is merely days old. I think everyone can see which of the two is the fork. - TaalVerbeteraar (talk) 22:26, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
