Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of doughnut shops (2nd nomination)
per  relative to :Category:Doughnut shops.  states, "It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic. These redundant systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative. Furthermore, arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided." The list also has a functional purpose per  as a useful and functional navigational aid. Another matter is that descriptions can be added to the entries to expand the article, which cannot be performed with categories
