This kind of wayspot is accepted while legitimate nominations are being rejected

This is an insult to all wayfinders.
- Generic supermarket chain.
- Lazy description. Didn't even bother to capitalize the first letter.
- License plates in the picture.
Everyone who approved this wayspot should get their ability to review revoked.

How long has it been there? It might be old enough to be an Ingress submission from the portal (chimpanzee) days.
It’s brand new. Just appeared the other day. It’s ridiculous this passed…….it has multiple reasons to reject……….yet legit stuff gets rejected left and right. It boggles the mind.
Historical cemeteries and street art is constantly rejected in my town yet we get a Cumberland farms pokestop, that is right off of a busy road that is dangerous to walk on. thanks Niantic.
Nitpicky of me perhaps, but...
None of the visible license plates are readable. There is no PII ("Personally Identifiable Information"). (This is one of my pet peeves, that some reviewers are too strict with their interpretations of the rules. ie. a city bus's does NOT have any PII and would thusly be exempt from the rules.)
But beyond that, this wayspot should not have been approved.
Unfortunately, it is also my experience that Niantic will not remove a new wayspot on the basis of "it should not have been approved in the first place". The removal criteria for an existing wayspot are more strict. (This is another of my pet peeves.)
None of the visible license plates are readable.
Although they might not be readable in this screenshot, it is quite possible that at least one would be in the high-resolution version of the image that can obtained through the intel map, for example. In that case, it would count as a legible license plate in my opinion.
Agreed. But given my point, the onus would be on the complainant to prove so. (Given the angle of the picture, I would be highly surprised if it were the case, but I reckon it is technically possible.)
Maybe the supporting info had some information about how involved they are in the community? Hard to judge looking only at the description and name 🤦🏻
If tjis was in Finland, I'd suspect this to be reviewed by Niantic themselves. :D
