Hoaxes are attempts to make people believe unlikely things. Unlike confidence tricks, money is not usually involved, but the trickster may try to play practical jokes, expose gullible people or annoy political or artistic rivals.
This category includes notable proven hoaxes and possible hoaxes. An article's inclusion on this list is not intended to disparage the authenticity of the subject, but to denote its provenance as controversial.
To forestall edit wars, religions and religious figures are excluded from nomination for this category.
