Summary of thread: Bad ideas:

Good ideas:

I wouldn't mind a one day/week new page hiatus. If a user tried to create a new page, an auto-message could explain the one day/week cleanup idea, plus "If you must write a new page, create it in your userspace today and move it tomorrow. (+brief instructions on how to create a user subpage)". One day/week of no new articles might give admins a chance to gain some ground on various continually-backlogged speedy delete cats. And people could still write new pages in their userspace. (I am assuming this is all technically feasible.)
