You do not need to be a non-profit organization to qualify for non-commercial use of materials. Legally:

"The definition of NonCommercial depends on the primary purpose for which the work is used, not on the category or class of reuser" Even if you argue that Wikia is a company that makes profit off of advertising on their sites, the primary purpose of me or any user posting the images is not to make Wikia or ourselves money thus it can qualify as non commercial use of materials. Precedence is one of the most important concepts in law. Basically it means if someone sets a standard that standard is legally binding. While I am not aware of a court case where something like this situation happened we are safe to assume something is okay if a wiki larger and older than us does something and has not had issues with it. That isn't a fallacy that is just how things work.
