Interesting idea, but I would explicitly exclude verifiability from that; if we sit for a few days debating notability and then someone drops by and point out that the subject is a hoax and doesn't actually exist, we probably don't want too much red tape in the way of deleting the thing.
Very true, we should probably invent a shortcut procedure for hoaxes and copyright violations. I propose we call it "speedy deletion".

Hoaxes as such are not grounds for speedy deletion. You might want to argue that they are vandalism but that would be contentious. If I come across something that is dodgy and there seems to be no verifiable material for it, I normally propose it for deletion.
Whether hoaxes should be grounds for speedy deletion is of course another issue.
See our grounds for speedy deletion for clarification.
