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?

But isn't that taken for granted, that we must blindly accept, while accepting as little as possible, that Christianity is the dominant religion?

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.
