I have been looking at this for a while now, something that is clear is that virtually all (as in ~95%) of the deleted articles (especially speedies) are from anonymous users, and a lot of which aren't tests, but plain old vandalism. I really think we need some kind of "votes for creation" or "approved creation" or something, maybe not soon as there are still vast quantities of topics we don't cover (see [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject Missing encyclopedic articles]] for ~150,000 examples), but maybe a in year or so from now I dont think we will have much choice.

There is a proposal I made somewhere to limit the creation of orphan articles. From what I recall nocking out rubish on new pages was't a problem.
Incerdetnly do new pages turn up in Recent changes a fraction before they turn up on new pages?
