Mile Marker Is a Featured Wayspot?!

So confused, a mile marker came up in the Showcase section of my Wayfarer page. According to Niantic’s “Confusing Nominations” guidelines, simple mile markers with nothing other than a number should be rejected (see bottom of page). Please advise.

@Slaelight-PGO Okay, so we don't 100% understand how the Featured Nomination Algorithm works. We do know its not "reviewed/approved" by Niantic before being visible and selections "local" approved nominations to display. So in some situations its may display an approved nomination that doesnt meet Niantics Criteria despite being approved.
This seems to have figured out how the feature works but unfortunately some Rubbish submissions get through the net and then they appear on the featured section which then opens the flood gate for more rubbish to get through 🤷♀️
Yea its funny I made that comment and 2 days later a wonderful detailed post explains the algorithm of the featured Waypoints. It lines up with what I said overall. Its not being picked by Niantic but the machine picks nominations that were approved and so it can't distinguish between Good or Bad approvals.
