#'''Support''' as date and time are common to all subject areas, and standardization is a logical extension of this. --[[User:Gavin.collins|Gavin Collins]] ([[User talk:Gavin.collins#top|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Gavin.collins|contribs)]] 10:43, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
#'''Support'''. Why allow an editor to set a "date and preference" in the their profile, and then ignore it? [[User:MeegsC|MeegsC]] | [[User talk:MeegsC|Talk]] 11:58, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
#'''Support'''. The day someone decided that date should be delinked is the day someone created a huge headache for
#'''Support''', allows personal choice with minimal issues. (No, "I can't read the wikitext" is not a valid complaint, as it is already unreadable thanks to the pervasiveness of citation templates and parser functions.)

#'''Support''' As a reader, I like it.--[[User:Fabrictramp|<font color="#228b22" face="comic sans ms">Fabrictramp</font>]] | [[User talk:Fabrictramp|<font color="#960018" face="Papyrus">talk to me</font>]] 23:17, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

#'''Strong Support''' Wikipedia is not a [[WP:PAPER]] encyclopaedia, and editors who aren't bothered or don't know how to format dates can leave it to editors who can. Symanticising (if that's a word) articles is only a good thing. -- '''[[User:M2Ys4U|M2Ys4U]]''' <sup>(<font color="green">[[User talk:M2Ys4U|talk]]</font>)</sup> 15:33, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
#'''Strong Support''' Makes sense to support the most popular format --[[User:Thelostlibertine|Thelostlibertine]] ([[User talk:Thelostlibertine|talk]]) 18:01, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
#'''Support'''. I feel that Linked dates would be good as it would help avoid conflicts as when Tropical cyclones transfer basins it causes headaches for WPTC members. Also i feel that if we are meant to link to "relevent articles" then why shouldnt we link to the date articles?
