This is a good idea, and you can take it further, as suggested in the past: we need a space in which one can draft verifiable articles about any topic, without arguments about notability. Just as Wikipedia was a 'simple, unreliable scratch space' to let everyone draft articles for nupedia, we need the same sort of space to let everyone draft articles for [what we currently think of as] wikipedia.
