I meant people turning up at the admin noticeboards to ask for a WP:SNOW closure. Those people too should be firmly pointed back to AfD and told to be patient. Lack of evidence is not proof. This discussion is not about a hoax article, but makes my point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive127#SNOW_Request_at_AFD DYK is one area to be strict about possible hoaxes (i.e. remove them from DYK): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive472#DYK_hoax_averted Ah! Found it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history/American_Civil_War_task_force/Archive_4#Possible_Hoax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive489#DYK_hoax_article.3F That discussion has all the Swiss cheese stuff as well.
