The lead is a content fork of the main article,
WP:RAWDATA. Having explained that a leap year is any number divisible by 4, except for numbers divisible by 100 but not 400, it is not necessary to then give a list of all numbers between 1600 and 2100 that have this property — why only that range, anyway? (Even if it is felt necessary, the list could easily be included as a paragraph of the main article, along the lines of, "Thus, the leap years between 1600 and 2100 inclusive are: 1600, 1604, 1608, ...") I note that an editor replaced the page with a redirect to "leap year" not long after the page was created but this was reverted. Dricherby (talk) 23:04, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply

- Delete - No valid navigational function, no encyclopedic content that is not available on the page leap year from which this is forked, this is set of answers to a not-very complex mathematical formula. Carrite (talk) 23:22, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete – Article is unnecessary for the reasons given above, and it is a consistent target of misinformed "corrections". However, the lead is in some regards easier to understand than the discussion of the Gregorian calendar at Leap year, so some merging might be useful. -- Elphion (talk) 23:25, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Unnecessary article with non-encyclopedic content. — Joaquin008 (talk) 13:14, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: This article doesn't accomplish anything that hasn't been put forth in the main "Leap Year" article, which has the algorithm on there already. Breadblade (talk) 01:51, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
