Hoi, If it can be done by a bot, it is done by software.. Being able to do things with a bot is essentially something that you do rarely. When it is done continually, you want to make it part of the software proper.
The question then is; does it make sense. to do it. and this may get you to implement it with a bot.. because does it ? Thanks, GerardM

This is really simple. IF article is up for deletion for more than 12 hours THEN email all users who have this article on their watch list. I say more than 12 hours so that people can't use this to just spam lots of users with inappropriate AfD status. This should work in all Wikipedias, not just English.
So how does the software know that a page is up for deletion? Pending deletions are done using templates, not by some internal mechanism by the software.

Could be done with a bot.
