Why don't we lock new article creation in the main namespace entirely for three months? Or six months? Demand that people fix existing articles.
Any proposal based on an assumption like "people spend X hours a week working on Wikipedia, and if only we could stop them wasting those X hours working on something silly" is flawed. If you stopped me creating new articles, I'd probably just get pissed off and leave.
