Because then the admin who did that would receive a sh*tst*rm of complaint 
about "going against process", be listed for "de-adminning", have screeds of 
hate written about them on [[WP:AN/I]]...and might even be blocked for 
[[WP:POINT]] and multitudinous other "sins"...whilst the offending article 
was torn down and the earth under it salted and radiated to prevent anything 
like it ever sullying the face of the Wikipedia again.

Need I go on?
