Furthermore, if you are serious about the value of this material, and if _you_ have disk space, I believe the community here would be agreeable to set up some continuing arrangement whereby every article, prior to deletion, is emailed to you for inclusion in Wikinerds. The total volume is really not that large; far less than an active USENET newsgroup. if you check the deletion log, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_log , you will see that about 500 deletions were made on 22 October. Most were _extremely short_, less than 200 bytes each but even if we assume an average size of 5000 bytes that's only 2.5 megabytes. (I believe the real number would be well under 500K). And disk is cheap.
I would be extremely interested in this. I already include as many deleted articles as I can at mcfly.com. In fact, I've said a number of times that if I'm given access to the deleted articles I promise to never participate on VfD or VfU again.
If I could have some automated way of getting deleted articles, I could focus less on that and focus on making these deleted articles editable, which is what I'd like to eventually do.
