This poll was not representative for wikipedia

233 would be a *large* turnout on en:wp. What is a large turnout on de:wp?
Your arguments look to me like fully-general counterarguments against
*any* on-Wikipedia poll whatsoever, no matter the structure or
subject. What would you accept as a measure of the de:wp community
that would actually be feasible to conduct?

A so called "Meinungsbild" (opinion poll) is the tool of choice to make
basic decisions for the project. Admins and authors are bound to such
decisions. It usually needs 2/3 of the users to agree with a proposal
(formally correctness) and 2/3 of the users actually voting for and not
against the proposal. There may be variations depending on the questioning.
