Gate-keeping is one of a trio of concepts that are still interesting to discuss, along with conflict of interest, and bias (as in systemic bias). "Still interesting" as neither purely involving content policy, nor purely about community interactions, but having both snarled up together. Anyway Wikipedia is meant to help people have access to knowledge, per the mission, and to do gatekeeping per WP:NOT.
