then have to plough through the articles manually. A deleted article
that might be almost an FAC is quite likely not formatted correctly
yet, so you won't be able to automatically search for links and refs

I personally read "candidates" as "articles that could, theoretically, be
improved to FA-level." Mostly because many comprehensive articles simply
cannot.
