This is a very good question. Many of us play on a server that has been designated as “full” meaning that server may not be at 100% capacity but you’re not allowed to create anymore new characters (new as in different account) on the server.  With the addition of the Death Knight class you’re only allowed to make one per server so for those with maxed out accounts that have all the slots available for characters taken, they’re screwed.

I know that each server can only have 1 death knight but I have a question about character slots. What if some player filled all the character slots on the server they want to play, does that mean they have to delete one of their character to create a death knight?

We currently don’t plan to add additional character slots. Right now if you are maxed out and want to create another character on that realm, deleting one is an option, so is transferring it to another realm. If you are interested in the Deathknight you can also create it on a separate realm to try it before making any big changes to the realm that is full. (src)
