Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fred Thompson controversies
Hillary Rodham Clinton controversies has been around for quite some time, but it is currently proposed for dismantling.  There are reasonable arguments both for and against the existence of these articles; I wish the WP Powers That Be would decide on this for all politician articles, rather than each one's editors having to hash it out independently.  For a long time I was a proponent of seperate controversies articles, but aside from whether they violate ontent forking and the like, there are a some practical problems with controversies articles:  they are hard to summarize fairly in the main article; a surprisingly high number of readers fail to find them, thus concluding that the main article is a "whitewash"; and they tend to accumulate a lot of minor unto trivial entries, because they aren't competing for space as they would be in the main article.  Of course the great benefit of them is that you can drill down into detail on the important entries, without disrupting the overall narrative of the main article
