3. Polling - can a Wikipedian community vote about excluding a certain
person from writing? Can it vote about whether to except a certain
source? Can the Spanish Wikipedia decide a source from Japan will never
be regarded reliable?

The answer to your question is yes. They can and they do. The
English Wikipedia commonly votes to ban individual users, typically
disguised as "Discussing a community ban."
As far as sources go: each project is allowed to set the standard of
inclusion. Some may choose to require more-high-profile sources,
while others might accept a blog as a source.
This seems to me to be a solution in search of a problem.
