I'd think that'd be a good idea. Part of the problem I observe as a
new page patroller is that younger Wikipedians will often write rather
silly or childish articles. Maybe if we can add a line to the end of
the deletion and "You wrote a problem article" notification templates
advertising WP:WANTED and WP:MISSING, it'd be great. I think some
mottos of the day would also be a good idea.

I've been writing new stub articles just from those in the past couple
of days. It reminds me of how and why I got hooked on writing an
encyclopedia.
What would be a good way of advocating these to n00bs? "See this list?
Write a coupla paragraphs with a coupla good references and it'll go
in."
Suppose I should help process the "new articles from unconfirmed
users" queue ... where is that these days?
