We could add some text to [[MediaWiki:Nogomatch]] that links to the deletion log and WP:VFD.
But we can't, without changes to the software, display different text depending on whether there actually *was* a page that had been deleted recently. It's quite unprofessional to go, "This page *MAY* have been deleted... go check in the Deletion Log to see if that's the case!" Like, as if it was impossible to have the software check for you.
I agree that it's suboptimal not to be able to present a different message if the page used to exist, but is my suggested wording really that bad?
