These seem to be a half-useful navigational "handlist" for a user. They're a bit clunky, but they do seem to fill a niche that might otherwise not be served very well; I really don't see how they're some kind of abomination that needs taken out and shot Right This Minute.
...come to think of it, this sort of objection might be better laid against something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Algeria-related_articles - at least the hierarchical one is organised in a more sensible manner!
