This discussion about splitting off sections to
articles, notability and
undue weight reminded me of something I encountered recently:
What do you do if you find an article with a short description of the
subject followed by a huge criticism/controversy section with subsections
for every negative opinion about the subject ever published? It is sourced
so just removing most of it will get you reverted by the people who wrote
the article.
Hmm, I thought such "criticism sections" had been deprecated for quite
a
few years now. One thing to do is to add {{criticism section}}, the
wording of which is what I recall (that criticism is better integrated
into an article). In the hugeness case the integration would make the
article look like the "attack article" it probably is.
We have around 125 articles with "criticism of" in the title:

None of WP:CRIT, WP:NOCRIT and WP:CRIS addressing the
issue seem to have
made it past being an essay into a guideline.
Yes. Failing guidelines, those pages would seem to be where to discuss this.
