Comment on The loss of prolific contributors in Wikipediaparent

> My opinion is that it should be inclusionism and not deletionism. Include many thing as needing.

I agree with you, unfortunately we're losing the battle here.

There are already plenty of rules defining what fits or not in Wikipedia: not only it needs sources, but also notability and it can't be original research.

The issue is not that those rules aren't being followed: is that deletionist mods are deleting articles, metadata, lists, and everything else, even when those rules are followed. And they're also making it harder to create new articles.
