I adopted a wiki quite a while back after the previous admin was removed by wikia staff for preventing people from editing.

In that case the wiki still had content, but many content pages were completely locked from anyone except an admin from editing with no history of vandalism on those pages. The admin got warned by wikia staff and continued to lock pages for no reason so got removed from being an admin at that wiki. Then I followed the standard procedure for adopting a wiki.

In my case I kept informing staff of what was happening with links to specific examples (edit history, talk pages etc).

I would try and make some edits and see what happens. If it gets deleted, perhaps try asking the admin what you did wrong, what kind of content would they like to see, what are the rules for the wiki, etc. Their actions (if they do delete the content and reply to you) might give you some helpful evidence to show to wikia. And if they don't delete the content then you can just contribute to the wiki as you wish.

Act in good faith and be polite and see what happens. You've got nothing to loose except a little of your time.
