That's a sensible idea IMO.

Most of what you suggest is to combat trolling or vadalism, but one thing you mention -- duplication of articles -- almost always happens by accident rather than malice.
To combat that, I think we really should make more redirects when pages are created. Just the other day, I was going to start an article on http://www.memory-alpha.org/ and called it [[MemoryAlpha]] without realising that there was already [[Memory Alpha]]. There should have been a redirect!
So, I was wondering if the New Pages Patrol (which I think is a good idea even though I don't have time to participate in it before my exams) should include the "duty" of creating redirects from alternative names, titles, spellings, etc.etc.etc.
