I think it's OK to speak in separate articles about individual issues (like the Coca-Cola labor practices in Colombia), while mentioning and linking them in the main article, but [[Criticism of ***]] articles are clearly POV forks.
Some time ago, I tried to avoid the POV fork of Wal-Mart, but I got a bunch of "Wal-Mart associates" insulting me and demanding me to stop editing [[Wal-Mart]], because I'm a non-American who knows nothing on what Wal-Mart really is. Eventually, I gave up, although the issue did make the Slashdot main page:
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/04/28/1331232 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Wal-Mart
Anyway, since the [[Criticism of ***]] appear to be accepted, there are now dozens of articles, springing up in all domains:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Islam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Pope_John_Paul_II http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Family_Guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_software_engineering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Soka_Gakkai http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Franklin_D._Roosevelt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_debt
...etc...
