- I'm tempted to say keep. There's two ways of saying the year 2001, two thousand and one and "twenty-oh-one". Two thousand and one is probably the more common of the two. DonnanZ (talk) 11:17, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- Wouldn't that same rationale dictate keeping every individual number in the two-thousands through the nine-thousands? bd2412 T 16:25, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as sum of parts. I don't think we can make an exception for years, because that would justify the reintroduction of all cardinal numbers. However, I think we can consider an addition to "Appendix:Numerals" or a separate appendix ("Appendix:Dates") explaining how years (and dates) are indicated visually and read out. — SMUconlaw (talk) 12:24, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Years are labelled with numbers; they are not a separate dictionary sense for a number. Equinox ◑ 16:44, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
