I don't see a proper basis for an article on this just yet. First, Bungie's previously observed fixation on the number 7 has far less to do with Destiny and far more to do with Bungie. If it becomes obvious that "7" references and easter eggs are peppered throughout the game itself, we can revisit whether to include a page on "7 References in Destiny." But launch dates are determined by the publisher and market influences, not the developer's love of a particular number. And even if the launch date were determined by Bungie (it's not), the Destiny launch date is not as much a "7 reference" as it is a "date that circuitously corresponds with a number that happens to be divisible by 7."

I love 7s as much as anyone, but 7 references should be clearly intentional and frequently occurring easter eggs, that happen in-universe, and do not require stretches of logic/imagination to see before we make a separate article about it. So far, there is only one 7 reference that meets those criteria (Seven Seraphs, as pointed out already).
