Yes, but at the same time we must respect that everyone has varied religious beliefs, and I wouldn't be surprised if around about half of users supported BC, while the other half did not. However, you have a point, NPOV means BCE. Then again, must we assert that Jesus is the Messiah/God? We must merely assert that he is christ and that the calendar is based around his birth (which it certainly appears to be, if he existed when he supposedly did).

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.

Go figure :) I suppose thats all you can put in an article like MoS anyway. I personally think any policy article that doesn't change regularly (i.e. no voting pages, no listings and relistings) shouldn't go over 10kb for readability's sake. Anything more is just too much content for one page. And there's the added advantage that mailing list users don't need to abbreviate policy :)
