I have unapologetically used the word "deletionist", but not in 
conjunction with the word idiot.  I've also used the term "inclusionsit" 
to refer to the other side in the debate.  For me these represent 
general tendencies rather than any kind of absolute positions.

If someone has better terms, I can adapt.

Calling them "abortionists" for what they do to baby articles might not 
be suitable ;-)
