I just discovered that we both may have been wrong. Looks like you can skip the AfC review process entirely and this is given the go-ahead by Wikipedia (it's not frowned upon). Basically, you have to create a Draft-namespace article (for example, Draft:Rust). Then, once you have auto confirmed privileges (10 edits and 4 days account age), you can move the page namespace from the Draft namespace to the (Article) namespace... ... and that should create the article. Hmm.
