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.
Except that under the model I "dreamed up" :) The volunteers would have to have admin privs in order to delete the no-brainers. Anything else could be done by any volunteer, admin or not.
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.
For this to work, the direct nomination method would have to be scrapped or else a troll/vandal could get a bullshit nom past the team. However, using such a system and keeping direct nominations would still have a benefit in allowing anons and those unfamiliar with deletion procedure to make a nom and even have it "proofread" for them :)
