Would we  have any ownership of our own articles?  I'd rather not have
private  details of my life up on a wiki page.  My concern with your
proposal  is privacy, not notability.  I realize the link would be
optional, but  an on/off switch is much more coarsely grained than the
current  system.

Also, verifiability seems too strong for this, because it  means
*anyone* can verify the details.  Perhaps someone wants to state  that
they are a professor, but not give details of where they teach out  to
the world to be edited mercilessly.  A private  confidential
verification might be acceptable, but not a public  one.

You may not want ownership of articles, but then again, work without credit  
is slavery.
