Is this really this bad?
Just a general question: What happened here?
The second try of nominating the Hamburg central Station got rejected
Rejection reasons:
-Natural feature
-doesnt meet acceptance criteria
Title: Hamburg Central Station
Description: The Hamburg Central Station is one of the most important transport hubs in Germany. Every day around 550,000 people travel from here on 14 tracks on long-distance trains across Europe. The station was designed in 1900, but had to be reworked because Kaiser Wilhelm II found the station "hideous". Ultimately, it was put into operation in 1906. The model for the building with two towers and the roof was ultimately the Galerie des Machines, a steel frame construction of the Paris World Exhibition.
The photo is edited so there are no visible persons and license plates. I checked for duplicates and there is no possible duplicate.
I highly doubt that the photos/texts are the problem. Is this just Wayfarer insanity or is this really a natural feature?

As a transport hub it absolutely meets criteria and I'm amazed it's not already in the database. What did you put for your supporting statement?
The train station is the clear definition of an important transit station. Not only the hall, but also the facade is worth seeing. The picture has been edited so that no license plates or faces are visible.
I'm really sad when I see nominations like that rejeceted. And not only once, but twice :/
This is one of the best example of eligible nomination, I have no idea how it could've been rejected twice..
I hope appeal system will come soon to us, as this is perfect example why it's needed. You shouldn't need to nominate it again second time as it should be accepted first time.
Your nomination don't look like it need any improvement at all, but I got idea what might help it (it shouldn't be done in the first place imo, but looks like you don't have much choice with reviewers like that).
Looks like the only thing you can do to improve it is to mention in support text that it's eligible as main transport hubs are eligible and mention in criteria as great place to be social with others (that Famous transit stations are mentioned in the list of examples in wayfarer criteria site) - it seems there's a need for it to be mentioned in submission, as reviewers seems to not read criteria at all - there shouldn't be need to mention it in support text, but looks like without it reviewers don't know it's eligible...
I hope it will be accepted next time, it definetly should be a POI long time ago. Good luck!
Yep, its time to make appealing rejected (upgraded) nominations a thing. But sadly, thid will propably take a while since there is not more than a "you will get it soon tm"
They do not respresent the central station. The "Wandelhalle" is a shopping mall (the fact that "central Station north is in the name makes it look strange) and the other one is the church tower (Kirche=church).
And even if they count as duplicates, rejecting it would be pretty wrong.
Third Upgrade and finally approved :D
That's a great picture. I want a souvenir key
Took two hours in order to edit out every person and the license plates. Im really bad at this, this is one reason why it took so long xD
