Simply because most admin have already been involved in the page nor want to wheel war. And yes, people have been desysopped for promoting an opinion, especially when that opinion is the utter promotion of vandalism and a complete affront to our consensus procedures and our policies. There was already an RfC that determined that it was not to be a redirect. There was already consensus about working towards fixing the page. There were already two proposals for rewrites. If you bothered to read the talk page, you would see that there was a large group of people working together while five users edit warred the page out of existence. So, I assume you did your job as any responder and actually looked at the history, investigated, saw all of that, and decided to speak to the contrary. Otherwise, you didn't look at it at all and decided to comment on something you had no clue about.
