Sounds like a good compromise to me, although that won't cover pages
that went through VfD very well.

currently deleted as sysops
usually don't type a reason when deleting speedy deletion candidates.
They leave the full text of the article as the deletion reason, which
helps others to check what has been deleted as any user can read this
text in the deletion log.
As an alternative, I've added the following to [[MediaWiki:Noarticletext]]:
* If you created an article under this title previously, it may have
been deleted. See [[Wikipedia:Candidates for speedy deletion#The
cases|candidates for speedy deletion]] for possible reasons.
Perhaps this will help explain to newcomers where their article went.
