Can anyone help me out to why this stop has been rejected it meets the criteria for a stop and there is another one of the same markers as a gym along the same route.
This new stop is not located in the same area and is over 1K away from the other marker on the same route.
The stop in question is this.
Preston Guild Wheel 7/14 Miles Marker
Description
The Guild Wheel is a 21-mile walking and cycling route, encircling Preston and providing a link from the city to the countryside.
Supplemental Information
The Guild Wheel is a 21-mile walking and cycling route, encircling Preston and providing a link from the city to the countryside. The Wheel is a great way to make the most of the many forms of landscapes that make this city what it is – by rambling river and canal sides to ancient woodland, city centre parkland, historic docklands and attractive nature reserves.
The other stop like this is nowhere near this one and has been accepted without question.
Thanks for any help.

The existing wayspot is irrelevant. Each is voted on its own merit.
Are you saying you got no rejection reason - just a period? If so, that probably means Niantic reviewed it.
Is it in the U.S.? Is it within 40 meters of a Single Family Residence? Maybe Niantic was reviewing to meet their 2019 lawsuit agreement? Items 7 f and g say:
(f) Niantic will add specific instructions to the current review form that Niantic’s user-reviewers use to evaluate new POI submissions that direct user-reviewers to increase scrutiny regarding any proposed POI that may be located on or within 40 meters of a private single-family residential property, and POI that appear to be located in neighborhood parks. At a minimum, such instructions will include directions for the user-reviewer to examine the proposed POI using a variety of sources, including but not limited to mapping services maintained by private companies such as Google Maps. After such review, Niantic will use CRE to avoid placing the POI on any property that appears to the reviewer to be a single-family residential property.
(g) Niantic agrees that it shall manually review a statistically significant percentage of new POI submissions via a Niantic employee or contractor for the principal purpose of trying to avoid POI that are more likely to lead to issues with nuisance or trespass.
Your description is a straight copy of the description on one of the websites detailing it, thats enough for an instant rejection. Reword it in your own way.
Depending on the location it may not be visible on Sat and Street Views so may have caused it to be rejected for that, a photosphere would help prove the location.
Also how many other existing POI's like that are they. Whilst its potentially a valid candidate, when all is said and done its a stick with a number on it, if there are already others that look the same nearby you may have scored low on visual uniqueness as well.
