This concept simply doesn't exist. An Imam is a thing, a Khatib is a thing, but there's no such thing as an "Imam-Khatib." No sources support this, and even the article itself was created as "Imam in Sunni Islam," which is already covered in the Imam article. Another user changed the pages name many years ago simply because they thought the current name sounded better, but it's a made up term. Even the Arabic article linked to on the left side of the page is for Imam, and the main Imam article links to the same Arabic page. There's been only one source for years, there isn't enough cited material for this to even be merged, and - this is very significant - it's not a real term.
