User:Tisane/Wikipedia users who would like to be provided with copies of any articles they might create that get speedily deleted

Sometimes an article created in good faith nonetheless gets speedily deleted. It is the nature of the speedy deletion process that there isn't always time to notice the speedy deletion tag and save a copy of the content before the article gets deleted. Oftentimes, even if the article met the speedy deletion criteria, there may have been something salvageable that can be placed in another article. Therefore, as a courtesy, it is requested that when an articles created by a user in this category is speedily deleted, a copy of it be placed in the user's userspace (e.g. on the user's talk page, if the article is short.)

By providing advance notice in this manner, it is hoped to save both the user and the sysop time that would otherwise be spent writing (in the case of the user) or reading (in the case of the sysop) requests for the provision of individual deleted articles. Hopefully this can be done by an adminbot at some point in the future, so that it won't impose any additional burden on sysops. Presumably, to help prevent abuse, the bot will only provide copies of speedily deleted articles to autoconfirmed users who are not under any blocks. Perhaps the delete function could also be modified to include a checkbox giving deleting sysops the option to prevent the bot from re-spawning the article in userspace, or the bot could be programmed to not provide copies of articles whose deletion summary contains a certain string (e.g. "<>" for "Do Not Respawn").
