In my short experience studying this, there are some articles that might be
deleted very quickly, not even waiting 30 minutes.

If I look here at monthly dumps,  http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/ then
we would be missing many articles that were created and deleted between the
two dumps. We could look in total what articles were deleted

Historical data, I guess they could be extracted from older dumps, to
extract the list of articles tagged with categories based on a series of
dumps.
right now I am pulling them every thirty minutes, it would be possible to
scan historical dumps and find any articles that are no longer in the newer
dumps.

The deletion logs here
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete we could scan
those, but as i said, how to get the text?

the CPU usage for something like that would go way over my current
processing. we could as I said install in on the toolserver, I would have
to work on the code for a bit first.
so, this comes down to the question, do we have a full log of the deleted
articles ?

thanks,
mike
