Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of The Stand characters
We normally allow a list of characters for any sufficiently large fictional franchise--TV shows are normative, but series' of books are also handled similarly.  In this case, we have a grey area: one book, with both TV and graphic novel adaptations.  If we merge it to any one of the three articles (and the original novel makes the most sense), we risk losing the ability to discuss how certain characters differed in the various incarnations of the story.  Still, that is a more valid option, per  than deletion.  I'm not familiar with the story, so I can't comment on whether the character bios are too long vs. need to be trimmed, but I agree with the editor who made the break-out list that this length of prose would heavily unbalance the main article on the book
