From Deletionism and inclusionism in Wikipedia:
Deletionism and inclusionism are opposing philosophies that largely developed within the community of editors of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. The terms reflect differing opinions on the appropriate scope of the encyclopedia and corresponding tendencies either to delete or to include a given encyclopedia article.
There are many editors who fall into both groups. I lean toward inclusionism; Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, and we are not going to run out of server space any time soon. If a topic seems to be borderline notable, my tendency is to want to keep it.
However, if everyone had the same philosophy that I do — that is, if every Wikipedian were an inclusionist — we would end up with content that really should be deleted. If all were deletionists, on the other hand, then useful information would be removed.
Inclusionists and deletionists share the same ultimate goal: to improve Wikipedia's coverage of notable topics. We simply disagree on the best way to achieve that goal. That's okay; in fact, it's good! If either side entirely controlled Wikipedia, the result would be undesirable. As long as discussions remain civil, disagreement between inclusionists and deletionists is beneficial, as these discussions lead to more careful analysis of what should be included and what should be deleted.
