Удализм и инклюзионизм в Википедии

Deletionism and inclusionism in Wikipedia

Deletionism and inclusionism are opposing philosophies held by editors of the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, regarding the criteria for including or deleting content.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

On Wikipedia, deletionists generally argue for the deletion of articles that they allege are short and poorly written,[10] unreferenced or referenced only by Web-based sources and blogs, that they claim fail the community standards of notability,[11][4] or that they say exclusively contain trivia or popular culture references, as well as of other types of articles deemed unencyclopedic.

Inclusionists call for retaining more content, for higher tolerance of "stub" articles, and for an acceptance of notable blogs and other Web-based sources.[11][12] They also argue for fairness and good judgement in the deletion process.

* Background

Due to concerns about vandalism and appropriateness of content, wikis require policies regarding inclusion.[13] Wikipedia has developed spaces for policy and conflict resolution regarding the disputes for individual articles.[14] These debates, which can be initiated by anyone,[2][15] take place on an "Articles for deletion" page.[16] Much discussion concerns not only the content of each article in question, but also "differing perspectives on how to edit an ideal encyclopedia."[7]

At the end of each debate, an administrator judges the community consensus. Articles that do not require debate are speedily deleted by administrators.[17] If the administrator's decision is disputed, then the discussion can be taken to "deletion review," where the community discusses the administrator's decision. In controversial cases, the debates can spread to other places on the Internet.[18][19]

A 2006 estimate says that pages about Wikipedia governance and policy entries are one of the fastest-growing areas of Wikipedia and contain about one quarter of its content.[9]

* Positions

The Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians and the Association of Deletionist Wikipedians were founded by administrators.[10] Each has a Wikimedia page listing their respective members, charters and principles. While written in humorous tones, they reveal the perceived importance of Wikipedia held by the members.[20]
