Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of television programmes broadcast by the BBC (2nd nomination)
The list is not indiscriminate; it is a list of programs "either currently being broadcast or have previously been broadcast on the BBC". That's the exact opposite of "indiscriminate". The argument has been made that the article is a duplicate of :Category:BBC television programmes, but per  "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 argument has also been made that a precedent has been made by "other recent discussions of channel offerings", but I participated in several of those discussions, and the consensus was to delete channel listings for satellite carriers (such as a list of Dish Network channels), not a list of programs for an individual over-the-air broadcaster (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_digital_terrestrial_television_channels_(UK) for details). The difference is clear: listing a satellite company's ''channel offerings'' is in effect advertizing for the company. Listing the BBC's ''programs'' is something you might expect of an encyclopedia (I have several American television encyclopedias which do the same for US programs
