It seems like you are over complicating this. Why not just add an "Approved" field (or something similar) to the model?
You can then allow admins to set the Approved field to true. You can setup security around this field so that only admins can edit it. Within your application, you can then filter records based on the Approved/Not Approved flag as necessary.
