Kensington Burger Bar

Unique local establishment to explore that follows the criteria. Why did y'all reject this? Unless Niantic has a broken system that Auto rejects everything these days.

    Businesses are the hardest to get through nominations. I have ever in 500 or so submissions gotten one business through, and it was "McGregor Draft House".

    Take any reference to why you need a poke stop or it would be a good place for one out of your supporting information. Any information there should strictly be for why this meets criteria (social and maybe exploration with the poutine) and how reviewers can confirm it exists. I would replace all the information after local hot spot with a link that confirms the featured reference in the description.

    I think the pictures are fine, and you did show the sign in your supporting photo, so that should not be the issue.

    Reviewers may not recognize that "You Gotta Eat Here!" is a Food Network TV series. It would also help if you can pinpoint the specific season and episode it was featured in. Also, add any supporting evidence about the live music and events. These should consist the entirety of your supporting information. Details about "public access", pedestrian access, and other stores/restaurants nearby are completely inconsequential to the nomination itself and should not be in your supporting information. And details about the location should only be included if a reviewer will not be able to find it on satellite or street view.

    And finally, remove the comment about Pokestops and gyms. Not only is the comment pointless and has not bearing on the eligibility of the restaurant, it will also color some reviewers towards a negative opinion about the nomination as a whole. It's already bad enough to get eligible restaurants approved, so one shouldn't torpedo the nominations with comments about a game that has an extremely bad reputation of players either overexaggerate if not outright lying about their nominations in order to gain "one more Pokestop".

    I didn't think links were allowed. I see them occasionally but I read somewhere that there was no hyperlinks allowed but thank you for the feedback that was helpful!

    Hyperlinks in the supporting info are ok and useful at times, but not allowed in the Title or Description.

    Also reword your description, the details are good but it doesn't read correctly, and that will put some off.

    Try something like

    "Established in 2007, Kezington Burger Bar has been serving mouthwatering dishes, specialist burgers and poutine for over a decade. Popular with local and visitors, they were featured on Canadas "You gotta eat here" tv show. "

    Give the reviewer the high points in the description not just the support statement, as some may not even read that far.

    Restaurants make great nominations for gyms and raids, but they can be tricky for acceptance, especially due to the spot you took the shot, the pinpoint, and description. Overall, this burger bar would still make a great nomination in the near future.
