The Incubator is more for things that are allowable under Foundation bylaws that will spin off into a new project if popular enough.
The Waiting Room Wiki would be used for things that are highly unlikely to used in a Wikimedia project, so they sit and wait until claimed by someone else. At least this way, the article can be preserved and maybe cleaned up in the process.

If there would not be an article about the Simpsons why not just create it eventually in your userspace first if you're not sure enough? The sandbox can be used for this purpose as well.
I see no use for a seperate waiting room which may be filled with a lot of stuff that is barely organized.

Despite not being within the bounds of Wikimedia projects, certain things can still be useful for other non-Wikimedia projects to pick up in the future. To accomodate such pages, we could start up a "waiting room" wiki that would reside there until they can be exported somewhere. For example, let's say someone writes a very crufty article about The Simpsons. However, if there isn't a Simpsons-Wiki yet, then the page can be exported to the waiting room wiki in the meantime. This way, when a Simpsons-Wiki comes to existence, they can search through the waiting room for content they can use. They can then export it (conserving the edit history) and import it onto their wiki.
