172:"The list may be a valuable information source." That is from the lists page. This information is not a valuable information source. It lists every year and is impossible to fill. It requires OR or subjectively chosing which is which. It also has no purpose except to list dates of dates which are better served by a catagory than a list. This is an encyclopedia, not a grouping of redundant pages.
210:
catagorize the world leader so that people can find it by what century they were in, then please make a catagory. Right now its a worthless list that talks up a lot of room and can never be completed. Just because we aren't paper doesn't mean we have to have every unnotworthy list that lacks any descriptive text or notworthy references.
192:'These methods should not be considered to be in competition with each other. Rather, they are most effective when used in synergy, each one complementing the other.' In this case the list provides a simple navigational support between the different years and between the different overall list of leaders such as
433:
While a category can do some things, the result of retiring these lists would be a mass of irrelevant categories on a heap of articles. The formatting within these allows them to be informative lists and, with some work, several of them could reach featured list status if the community can develop a

I will spell out the redundancy. Talk a leader of 265 AD. His name will be on his page with the date. His name will by on the list of leaders for 265. His name will be on the other lists of leaders for the other dates. His name will be listed to by the catagory and the state leaders by year list.
209:
If you want to say "by that argument" I will respond in kind. By your argument, we should also have a list of world leaders by hair color, by height, by ethnicity, by religion, etc. If the information was important, it would be listed on the World Leader's page. If you want to have something to
163:(in chronological order and 'lists can be used as a table of contents'), it is part of a wikiproject and has red links showing which years have been done. A disucssion has been ongoing on splitting which I would support as it is overlong but that is not an issue for AFD.
270:
Thats four things doing the same exact thing and they all need to go and be reformated by having a catagory for leaders by dates and having subcatagories for the individual centuries. The rest is way too redundant.
259:
What? Researching non consecutive years? Knowledge isn't about making research easier. If a catagory can't do what is needed here then make its not really needed. Its not only redundant, its three times redundant.
187:
By that argument we must delete all lists organised by date. It is not OR as it has clearly defined limits i.e. the leaders of states by the year. A category and list do not have to be exclusive. As per
122:
This is not an encyclopedic page but a list of lists. Knowledge is better served by deleting this and all of its off sets and substituting catagories based on either decade or century in its place.
417:
Where does
Knowledge List say that a list is able to duplicate 100% the information included in a catagory? Your accusations are unwarranted and you have demonstrated not reading the arguments.
445:
There is already a catagory. This has been pointed out many times. If the catagory is problematic, why not propose the deletion of it? There should only be one or the other.

having the pages showing who is leader in a particular year is very notable and this operates as a main page for the series.
