[edit] Before Christ

This article is basically a duplicate article/fork of Anno Domini. Most opinions as expressed on the talk page are in favour of a redirect, but there's a persistent opposition to this, so perhaps it's best to solicit comments here. — squell 17:59, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Anno Domini per nomination. Also, having a duplicate article like this might encourage POV-forking on what is a pretty delicate subject matter. — squell 18:02, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Anno Domini... we already have a fork of Anno Domini and Common Era. No need to add another.--Isotope23 18:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Anno Domini per nomination. No good reason to have separate article --JimWae 18:39, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect It seems to me that there must be a word or phrase than can encompass this whole discussion. Jonas Silk 19:51, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• It's a bizarre use of process, but, really, I can see no better way to do it. Yeah, redirect. Lord Bob 20:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• NO VOTE - this is a bunch of editors from the Anno Domini article attempting to sabotage a good and valid article, therefore, this vote is moot and should not be recognized. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 21:09, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand this. If you are already assuming that everybody participating here will be in favour of redirection, then how is it a valid article? — squell 22:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect. Lambiam^Talk 02:20, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge some useful content and redirect to Anno Domini. "Note: BC is no longer used as the term for a year before AD, but is now BCE (before christian era)"? Most people still use BC! Grandmasterka 03:46, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• merge I have to agree with Grandmasterka. In its proper context, the use of BC is perfectly acceptable and continually used. Roodog2k 14:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Note that the nomination isn't concerned with this. If there would be consensus that having a seperate article on this topic is useful, it would of course get polished up. — squell 15:05, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
