deletable articles that have been around for a while come to the

(especially if the article is otherwise well written)
A general way for a new article to come to the attention of those
working "in the field" is that a new article tends to mean various
links need set up, so the related articles get edited and it becomes
obvious that way. Or they may notice a redlink has turned blue; same
idea.
(Interestingly, many of the articles we want *least* - very
intentionally promotional ones - are the easiest to find this way, as
people sometimes go a step too far and try to work in references to it
from thousands of pages...)
