After posting them to his blog, he adds them to Wikipedia. That, at least, seems to be the usual way in which we receive these "criticisms", which makes it rather easy to justify removing them.

The point of my example was to show that there is no simple binary answer to questions like that. Each case requires judgment of thoughtful editors.
