Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of television programmes broadcast by the BBC (2nd nomination)
The BBC has produced many notable and distinctive shows such as Monty Python, Dad's Army, Sky at Night, Blue Peter, Doctor Who and so on.  If there's an article for the show (which there is in all these cases) then, per , a list is a perfectly valid way of navigating and browsing our content.  If the list is large, then it may be organised alphabetically, as at present, or subdivided by decade, genre or the like.  The existence of categories is no reason to delete as is made very clear by .  The claims that the list is too large to be manageable don't stand up as we have plenty of other large lists or hierarchies of lists including List of movies, List of books, List of minor planets, &c.  There is therefore no policy-based reason to delete
