New articles - making democracy and motivating newbies

I've been described by one deletionist as a "hemp clad sandal wearing inclusionist" despite my doing over five thousand deletions on the English Wikipedia. But even I would contend that every day we get articles that say awful things about people, articles that deservedly get deleted in minutes. Having seen some of the cyber-bullying pages and other contributions by "friends of gays" I think it is really important that we continue to delete bad faith articles, blatant spam and ones that assert non-notability "x is my girlfriend, our high school prom Queen and the most beautiful girl in the world".

I like the suggestion that we enable all logged in users to access their own "deleted" edits (we have oversight and revision delete when we really need to delete stuff).

But for good faith contributors we could do something very different to what we do now, hence my proposal elsewhere on this wiki Proposal:Speedy deletion - 24 hour pause for some articles
