I think I remember participating in a discussion about one such article. Those who were for the existence of the article made the point that "criticism" doesn't necessarily imply that the commentary is negative (although it is often used in this way). Therefore a "Criticism of..." article should cover views both pro- and contra-.
It's almost always used that way on Wikipedia. Terms like "critical review" or "critical appreciation" are more ambiguous, but "criticism" is pretty unambiguously negative.
