Here are a few of the articles I rescued, including some of the first things I ever did here, mainly those that ended up with a star of some kind. It's a particular pleasure when something saved from the trash ends up as a Good Article, and basically astonishing to all of us when one such gets from double-deletion to Featured Article.
