Staff won't automatically deny your adoption request just because someone blocked you in a wiki. When Staff checks out a user's crosswiki contributions and finds that they've blocked in a wiki, they investigate whether or not the block is properly justified. In your case, you are being misinterpreted as a sockpuppetry of a blocked user in a wiki, and assuming that they couldn't find any proof that you are associated with that user via IP check, it will not prevent you from adopting the wiki.

If that adoption guidelines that you've mentioned in the OP is removed, then it wouldn't make much sense, because there are people who vandalize wikis that are blocked, as well as not following local guidelines. How can staff trust a user to adopt a wiki like that?
