I thought it was original research (or perhaps revisionist history)
to claim that Christianity was not (at least sufficiently) dominant for
BC/AD to be the norm for a very long time and thought out most of the world?
As to Arabic, Chinese etc. calenders. I thought just assumed that
those would be used on the wikipedias in those languages. Is using
English POV, what about the norms (the result of history) of the English
speaking world?

Actually one of the major issues in the dispute
is whether BC/AD violates
NPOV because it requires Wikipedia to make an assertion the Jesus is the
Messiah/God. BCE/CE merely describes the condition, and thus does what the
NPOV policy asks.
Falls appart when you considder the islamic calender and the like
cuases simular problems for CE.
