To hide those articles which are unfinished, or which the community has
decided are unfinished. So the AfD process becomes simply the "Hide It
process" much less contentious.
You didn't answer the question about who gets to see them.
Given most possible answers to this question, it'll just end up being the same
as AFD. After all, right now an admin can see a deleted article.

No. It has nothing to do with stubs or non-stubs. Stubs are published
today, and they would be published tomorrow. The only thing this does
is provide a way for AfD to turn into something with less conflict.
Well, is it about hiding articles ready for public consumption, or isn't it?
If it is, stubs get hidden. If it's not, you shouldn't say it is.
