Why don't admins want to "wait a few days" in most instances? Because by that point they've probably forgotten the article ever existed, and it becomes part of the mountain of crap that people delight in pointing out Wikipedia is full of.
Templates and categories take care of this quite handily, though. Slap a "notability not established" tag on the article, or whatever, and then eventually someone else can come along doing "notability patrol" to give the article its second look. It won't be lost track of in the interim, and it might even prompt the guy who put it there to fix his own oversight.
