If you are trying to get an idea of reputation you might mean to be looking at reverted edits, not deleted ones. Not sure its a better metric, but i would expect rather few users to have deleted edits.

I'm doing a research work on Wikipedia, thanks to the API, I have got most of the data I need. But now I'm trying to assess user's reputation, and thus I need to get the deleted revisions of a user. However, API says I don't have permission to view deleted revision information. I really need this data, please help me. Thanks a lot!
