Photos to support your claim:
Additional information: It surprises me to see that while my PokeStop is considered invalid due to it being on a wall of a building that is private property, all these other PokeStops seem to be allowed to be on the walls of private property.
The following photo is the photo i tried to submit on which you can clearly see the historical ornament including the historical house number, that was later changed from 17 to 26. This PokeStop is easily accessible by standing on the sidewalk as you can clearly see on Google Maps (last photo). I don't see any of the factors regarding photo quality being not fulfilled: bad photo quality, lack of lighting, blurry, taken from a car, includes people or animals. None of these rules were broken.
Comments
Read the email, you can't appeal rejected nominations. You should improve it and nominate it again.
Existing waypsots are not a reference about what's valid or not as the rules have changed and the way that you present your nomination it's quite important in order to get it approved.
Then how about someone tells me what to improve, i don't see any conflicts with the rules. So what's there to improve?
Also: the mail doesn't say i can't appeal, they it just informs me about the fact that I can edit my nomination. My whole point is that I have no idea what to edit, when things seem to be fine.
The door to your house is not a great portal candidate.
There is nothing architecturally interesting about the doorway. If it is historical, you need to provide evidence of that. Just keep in mind that because something is old doesn't mean it is historical.
As I said it's not about the door, it's about the old ornament, that clearly says 17 but through some historical things (the war) the house number is 26 now. I do find that interesting.
Appeal Denied - Thanks for the appeal, Trainer. We're not currently reviewing PokéStop submissions. Please resubmit the nomination by improving its title/description if you feel that it was a valid nomination.
