Perhaps have some sort of optional field in the registration form, that says: I come from this wiki project. and if they fill it out, a bot will copy automatic deletion notices over there too. If they come to commons:special:userlogin/create_account (or whatever the link is) from another wiki well logged in, this part of the form can be passed with get arguments e.g http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/special:userlogin?from=user:enwiki
of course single user login is a better solution, but I see that happening a long time form now (If it ever happens) -bawolff

Won't work. You find there's no user page, probably a new user on commons, and you don't even have babel templates. If they don't read their talk page, they won't also read that they are asked to provide their project. This restrictions (like providing an email) were talked to add as restrictions to create the account. Otherwise, they're quite useless.
