Interesting idea, but I would explicitly exclude

drops by and point out that the subject is a hoax and doesn't actually

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.
