It is a good idea to encourage good historiography in question asking. However, I think the holocaust denial spam we've been getting is more of an administrative difficulty. For me, we need to focus on moderation that does not "feed the trolls".

Perhaps we can have a single authoritative holocaust question here at SE, then all the denial questions will just get a very boring 'duplicate' response? Then the legion of holocaust deniers will find new people tease elsewhere on the internet?

If holocaust deniers get no comments, no responses, just a bunch of down-votes and close votes for a boring 'duplicate' reason, then the issue will fade on its own.
