I think you probably want to revoke create on the public schema. Create on
databases controls the creation of schemas.

CREATE

For databases, allows new schemas to be created within the database.

For schemas, allows new objects to be created within the schema. To
rename an existing object, you must own the object and have this privilege
for the containing schema.
