I think not doing anything at all when the item is presumed not notable is a bad thing, especially when we have datas. We should be able to at least generate a description in those cases, maybe in a popup way.

Why not, just not showing the "create" button instead ?

One of the main goals of the ArticlePlaceholder is getting more editors for the projects in question. We need to be very careful not to encourage them to create articles which are then deleted 5 minutes later. If this would happen to me as an editor I'd be extremely miffed because you just asked me to do exactly that 5 minutes earlier.
