Articles for creation has changed a lot since 2008 - it was of a similar structure to XFD - all submissions for a particular day were on one page, and people could come along and approve or reject based in certain criteria.

I can't remember the number off the top of my head, but the number of 
submissions per day back then and the number of submission now is on a 
totally different order. The solution is to get more experienced editors 
reviewing submissions.

I agree to that to an extent but one major advantage with the current 
subpage system is the retention of page history when an accepted 
submission is moved to mainspace compare to previously where the 
reviewing editor start a new page and manually copy and paste the 
submission over.
