Why don't we lock new article creation in the main namespace entirely
for three months? Or six months? Demand that people fix existing

I feel this is a poor idea; some articles might need significant trimming or
need to be broken up into several subarticles. Also, some articles need to be
renamed, and so on. And what if an admin decides to delete a bunch of
articles to be an asshole?
Also, some users just/mostly enjoy article creation (I was once one of
these), they will be gone if this is implemented.
To be honest, I don't think article creation is stealing much effort
into other areas. Most users almost always edit existing articles. So
if we can't expect efforts to be redirected, this won't help us much
at all.
