The BBC intends to list BBC links which were taken off Google because of the EU decision on the "right to be forgotten".
Since a European Court of Justice ruling last year, individuals have the right to request that search engines remove certain web pages from their search results. Those pages usually contain personal information about individuals.
Following the ruling, Google removed a large number of links from its search results, including some to BBC web pages, and continues to delist pages from BBC Online.
The BBC has decided to make clear to licence fee payers which pages have been removed from Google's search results by publishing this list of links.

No pages have been "de-listed" because of this. They have only been de-indexed from certain search terms. Other search terms on the same search engine could still return those self same articles.

Guess people has to improve their search skills. The question is how.
