This proposition is good but its a herculean task to implement it fully. It needs real dedication and a team to upvote every minnow's posts and there should be standard to be followed on choosing which article deserve to be upvoted. Since there are hundreds if not thousand posts everyday and some of the article is not worth voting for, i mean they are just garbage.

Agree - a herculean task.
Because you shouldn't solve technical problems with administrative means. Once the rules of the game are set you don't need administrative and curation efforts to enforce them.
I’m not saying every minnow. I’m saying ones who are specifically approved getting upvotes for posts submitted to a publishing account
I don't think it would be that hard. Use Steem Voter for automatically upvoting approved accounts and beneficiaries split of author rewards. Done. What is lacking is the willingness to set it up on the part of whales.
Easily fixed with integrating the down vote system. this way minnows, dolphins and whales can have their say without flagging. Down voting could/can/will eliminate shitty posts being rewarded.
This will be an incentive as well, for a massive amount of people to go through garbage and down vote it, for it would be a part of the curation award system much like up voting. So within the 7 day period, the angry mob will hunt for bad content, get rewarded for down voting it if it's bad.
Bad moods and maliciousness will be equaled out as up voting is too an incentive for reward on curation activity for steem. Furthermore, up voting posts should give the author more steem, as well.
Providing, obviously, every post gets rewarded immediately upon being posted.
This way, people can just post and post and post and post. The dark side of steemit will handle the quantifying effects of quality with down voting. Up voting secures automatic rewards on all posts, too many down votes, rewards are dropped. Additionally, Dolphin and Whale accounts can smash anything that ends up hot and trending due to all algorithm cheats in the system with their heavy down votes.
Down voting trending trash will eliminate the poor quality of posts in the trending landing page as well, and avoid flag wars. I think this system is the only way to keep things decentralized as such the steemit community is holding so dear to. This provides methodology without rules and regulations, and control.
Engaging further with myself;
Tagging will eliminate rewarding on memes, one word or one sentence posts that are more around the lines of "what's on your mind today" facebook style posts. This would be in an honor system fashion, though, cheaters of such that post a meme and ask steemit for automatic reward will ultimately receive a flag, which could silence the account for a matter of hours or days if such activity continues. Also, eliminating garbage getting rewarded from the steem pool.
:)
Ok, I think I'm done.
Peace.
