1. In case someone griefs the wiki by making bad edits before an admin catches them and deletes the proof.
2. So people can't grief the wiki by deleting useful or many pages.

As much as I've wanted to be able to delete pages such as ones I've created that turned out fruitless or a mistake. It's a far better system to tag the page for deletion and contact an admin to remove the page. This prevents a lot of griefing on the wiki.
