War and Peace characters order by appearance

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article is not needed; the intent is served by List of War and Peace characters. If we want to change that list into sequential order, that can be discussed, but what purpose is there to have two identical (ideally, if not in practice) lists of characters, with the only difference being their order? Also, verification of this list seems to be prohibitively difficult.

However, what really struck me are the number of 'blanks' in this article, which should never be included in the article space, but which seem to be here permanently. Examples include "In Book Four????" and "he tells ___________ that" and "In Book xx, He becomes a partisan leader in 1812 (Book .....)." So even though deletion isn't clean up, this only adds additional bases for deletion. Anything useful can be merged to the main list.

In conclusion, being one of the greatest works ever does not mean that War and Peace is exempt from common sense list guidelines. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk  17:30, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. By order of appearance fails WP:NLIST by a wide, wide, wide, wide margin. (Also, the Grammar Police are greatly displeased with the title.) Clarityfiend (talk) 23:45, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - Redundant to the much more appropriate and better organized List of War and Peace characters. As this list contains no sources outside of the book itself and is peppered with what appears to be original research, there is nothing worth merging. Rorshacma (talk) 05:58, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete redundant and intra-pointless trivia. AryKun (talk) 14:47, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
