Dealing with poor contributors on a case by case basis like that sounds like a lot of effort that might as well go towards preventing the problem from occurring in the first place. I'm not an admin so I don't know, but it seems to me that it would get tiresome constantly deleting pages, dealing with irate requests for explanation, and then giving the same answer repeatedly to people who most likely are going to either; ignore the explanation and continue being poor contributors until they get banned, or just give up and never come back.
