I really don't see how this reduces the load on AFD. As it stands now any admin can speedy delete an article on AFD, and a speedy keep is usually pretty obvious. What makes me uncomfortable about this proposal is that it removes these powers from the community at large and puts it in the hands of a special team.
He said "deletion preview team". He didn't say "elite, hand-picked group of Jimbo's best friends". Just like AFC, it would be who ever volunteers and can be bothered doing it.
It certainly makes deletion a lot more difficult. As I understand it, too much crap is more of a problem than too much unsupervised deletion. AFD is tends to get overwhelmed - making everything go through a few hands before getting to AFD will only make this problem worse.
I also don't think he was proposing scrapping the existing direct AFD method, for those that know how to do it. He's just proposing an easier method in addition. I think.
And it should help the problem you describe by keeping some articles out of AFD that don't need to be there.
