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.

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.
