Just another thought - could we consider forcing an AfD to be a fact-finding mission about a single question? That is, the nominator asserts that the subject is not notable. The comments should all be about the notability of the subject - if a cogent argument can be made that the subject is notable, then it should be kept. Remarks about verifiability, spelling etc would then be kept out of that discussion.
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.
