What if we change the article creation page to explicitly say that a page has been deleted before, either including the deletion logs directly or giving them a link for it? Right now the fact that an article might be have been previously deleted is buried in the second sentence of the sixth bullet point. Instead I'm thinking a pretty warning box would be more appropriate, one that only appears when the article has actually been deleted in the past.
Excellent idea - can we do this with a CSS hack, or will it require a patch?
I suspect that at the barest minimum, some skullduggery with the wikitext will be required. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to identify whether an article has been deleted before, ATM.
