I think there are still some deleted pages that fall through the cracks of Deletionpedia, Speedy Deletion Wiki, etc.
I know there have been many times I've wanted this functionality, but on the other hand, I've also had local hard drives crash, so I would've lost all those revisions anyway in the end unless I backed up my backups. I got complacent, though, and figured that a desktop machine's hard drive would be unlikely to crash, because it's not exposed to all the shocks that a laptop hard drive is exposed to.

Yeah, you're right. I know about that wikis but...I guess it would be easier to recover corrupted backups/database than catch all computers from all users that made at least one edit which is needed to recover the original state.
Maybe something like http://deletionpedia.org/en/Main_Page would be useful to examine (yeah, it can catch only deletion that were proposed at Wikipedia of course).
