No section about criticism and conspiracy theories

There has to be a section about the criticism and the conspiracy theories surrounding the WHO. GreatLeader1945 (talk) 16:15, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In most cases "criticism" sections are not a good way to organize article content, for the reasons described at WP:CSECTION. Instead, information should be organized by topic. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 20:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mx. Granger That's absolutely not true. Criticism and/or conspiracy theories sections are often present in many Wiki articles about important organizations, people etc. GreatLeader1945 (talk) 09:20, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In most cases they shouldn't be. "Criticism" sections tend to lead to NPOV problems and interfere with logical organization of an article. It's better to organize information by topic like this article does, with criticism mentioned where relevant, instead of rearranging negative material into its own section. I have not often seen articles with a "Conspiracy theories" section, but that seems like an undue weight issue waiting to happen. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 14:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mx. Granger >"I have not often seen articles with a "Conspiracy theories" section [...]" I said "articles about important organizations, people etc.". There aren't many such articles that fit this category to begin with, thus you "have not ofteen seen" such sections tbh. GreatLeader1945 (talk) 13:58, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mx. Granger & GreatLeader1945   Agree with Great Leader.   Let's not try to confuse criticism with theories. There is much criticism about the preoccupation of the WHO with abortion, as if abortion has anything to do with the health of the world. Abortion is not even metnioned here. There's also much criticism about their handling of the COVID crisis. It doesn't matter 'how many' other articles have criticism sections. The question is, is it warranted here? -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
