The needs to have edited regularly for a week and to start a community discussion (whether or not you get anyone to answer) are requirements and not guidelines.

The rest are somewhat more flexible; for example, if you get blocked for spite on somebody's personal wikia where you've never edited I'm not going to count that against an adoption request; but if you are blocked for legitimate reasons (harassment, vandalism, etc.) or respond poorly to an undeserved block I probably will count them.
