Why not set up a system where each article proposed for creation exists as a separate page. And there could be a special page set up which points to each of them. This special page could list the date and time created, the name of the proposed page, the number of bytes of the page, and the username or IP address of the proposer.
Surely that would be equivalent to just letting unregistered users create pages again and having a Special page that simply lists all articles that have only ever been edited by IPs.
Yeah, that was my point.
Although, as I thought about it more, there would potentially be one difference - "proposed" articles could live in a different namespace (and have a warning at the top or whatever).
And then the actual real difference would be what? The warning? The namespace prefix showing up in the article title? Both of those are trivialities. They are still publicly-visible and -editable pages that are primarily distinguished from others by means of that Special page that lists them. Whether that Special page performs a complex query or just lists a namespace, is irrelevant.
