I'd think that'd be a good idea. Part of the problem I observe as a new page patroller is that younger Wikipedians will often write rather silly or childish articles. Maybe if we can add a line to the end of the deletion and "You wrote a problem article" notification templates advertising WP:WANTED and WP:MISSING, it'd be great. I think some mottos of the day would also be a good idea.
