Since the early 90s, philosophers and physicists have been asking the question, "What is quantum information?" In this paper, I will present Shannon and quantum information theories and a minimal interpretation of them which has come to be known as the deflationary view of information. I will present several criticisms that have been leveled at the deflationary view of quantum information and offer responses. This will provide the reader an up-to-date view of the debate over the nature of quantum information
