What if a wiki doesn't want a partnership? Can we say no?

The potential for abuse here deeply concerns me. We had an issue on the Death Note Wiki where we suspected corporate interference via staff in an attempt to make a then-upcoming film adaptation appear in a more favorable light. This is a problem for various reasons that I won't get into now. But the concern here is that when/if a corporation takes an interest in a wiki, they and Staff then have an interest in how content is presented on that wiki. Unfavorable information will be removed or strategically diminished, and pages will be altered to more favorable depict content where there's a monetary interest. Not good.

Now, if there's no issue, then the partnership sounds fantastic. Yay, partnership.

So if a partnership is in effect, and there is an issue, how will Staff respond? Will you be willing to terminate a partnership with a corporation to allow the editing team to carry on with the wiki as they intended?
