controversial articles and neutrality problems

Yeah, this is a really tough problem. It's one thing to settle an article. It's another thing to settle a policy on how to handle certain articles. But there's very little to stop someone from creating a new article if they can find one or two sources and carve out something barely distinct. With the most inflammatory content expelled from dhimmi, a group of editors managed to keep it alive at dhimmitude. Not even saying that the second article shouldn't exist, but we really just don't know how to handle these kinds of spin offs. We have an entire article called criticism of Facebook. I think there's a place for this kind of criticism, but I can't help but wonder if the very framing of the article (as a place for criticism only) is a major threat to neutrality...

And I really do think that neutrality is a big community health problem too.

I don't have many answers on this issue except to empower the community to resolve them.

(edit: i realize I can't link to Wikipedia articles here, so I'll leave it to others to look them up if they want.)
