Even as an administrator, whe I go to a deleted page, or try to track down a deleted image, it is hard to identify who deleted a given page, and what reason was given -- the list of deleted revisions is not coordinated with the deletion log.
I've asked this before and I can't remember what the answer was. Why don't we just show this right on the page? At least up to 48 hours after the deletion? "This page was deleted by <user> on <date> at <time> for the following reason..."
We could add some text to [[MediaWiki:Nogomatch]] that links to the deletion log and WP:VFD. Could we also make it filter for the page name, or is that not available? If that is possible, then we could also link to the specific (possibly non-existent) VfD page.

Yes, those variables are available... along with many, many more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Variables
