A particular year in a particular calendar is not appropriate for a separate encyclopedia article. The article for that calendar is sufficient. Fails WP:GNG -MJH (talk) 21:22, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Why not rename all the Gregorian articles to this mode of dating, since the AH dates refer to an event in history, while the BC/AD rotate around an arbitrary zero point ? 62.25.109.196 (talk)

 * Comment Anglo-centric much? What makes Gregorian calendar years notable, but this Islamic calendar year not notable?  I would like to entertain the idea of closing all of the discussions opened on these and having a community RfC on determining the notability of these calendars.

 * Delete it makes no sense to have redundant systems listing events that took place in the large number of extant calendar systems, and the Gregorian calendar is the most widely used calendar globally, especially in English speaking countries (our target audience). Some sort of redirect to a page listing conversions would also be acceptable. Hut 8.5 20:09, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
