I still don't follow.

Nobody here is proposing to ban "new users" from adding "new content" to the wiki.

For one thing, whether the person who does the edit is "a new user" or not has absolutely no relevance.

For another thing, the proposal is about a very specific kind of content, namely articles for specific numbers.

And lastly, the proposed ban is temporary. The long term goal is to set up notability guidelines that all number articles (both old and new) will be required to meet. Once we've reached a decision on this, the ban would be lifted. From that time on, both old and new articles will be subjected to the same standards (which would probably mean that hundreds of old articles will be redirected)
