One admittedly clumsy way to handle this is to make a separate user subpage with links to the articles you want to track, preferably using the [[:article]] code with the colon so the backlink is not made, and to check it regularly for links newly going red.

It doesn't. It really isn't a bug, a watchlist is supposed to show edits made to pages, not log entries. However, I can see why you wish this feature would be added to the watchlist, but it's not a bug. :-)

why would it be a bad idea? Because people would delete too much? Or that they would not use the simper process of PROD as a first resort? I;m much more concerned of their using Speedy as a all-purpose resort.

Commons manages to have a "nominate for deletion" link in the

even when logged out. Is this all done locally?
That goes to nfd_nomForDel() which is defined at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Quick-delete.js and included in common.js on Commons.
We could *easily* make something exactly like this (to "AFD this article") available to everybody on en.wikipedia but I really think it would be a bad idea.
Out of curiosity... (my test MW wiki is off right now or I'd try this...)
If someone deletes an article on your watchlist, the deletion event does not show up on the watchlist, correct?
I'm inclined to think that this is a bug...
