Four points against your poll.


 * 1) Just because you make a poll, doesn't mean Wikia has got to do anything with it. They never called for it, nor did they declare they were going to follow the outcome.
 * 2) As I (and some others) mentioned before, there are thousands of users. Of that number, a fraction is active. Of that fraction, a fraction is active enough to care. Of that fraction, a fraction finds its way to CC. Of that fraction, a fraction complains. There is no way of telling whether there is a majority, vast or little. People are more likely to discuss something if they don't like it than if they do, or are indifferent about it. People who reply on Community Central are not at all a representative sample of the Wikia community.
 * 3) As of this writing, the poll has 112 total votes. That's votes, not voters. They are anonymous and untracable. It's very easy to vote more than once.
 * 4) Not everyone who dislikes the thing dislikes it for the same reason, and not everyone who dislikes it wants it entirely gone. Some settle for minor or major changes. Or they'll eventually get used to it. So a yes/no poll gives a polarized, un-nuanced image. A Yes, because/yes, but/no, because/no, but-discussion gives a somewhat better, but still not complete, view.
