Not knowing what article you were talking about, (which is helpful in
some situations) my expectation in a reader-role with wikipedia is
that articles would have a criticism section if there is significant
criticism. I think if there is peer-reviewed criticism I would always
consider it significant. So, the addition of a section like this in
principle I think is good.

After seeing the diff linked, and the fact that this is the Tori Amos
article, yes, I think your audience/local-editorship for this article
is probably significantly non-standard, more opinionated, and
motivated than most subjects. Tori fans are an interesting
demographic.
