Additional information: The wayspot is a generic insect hotel that can be easily bought online. I found at lest four websites where this item is listed :
(Notice how the pattern of the different spaces is the exact same between the examples above and the wayspot photo)
Since the wayspot is a generic object, the wayspot should be removed from the network.

Being a generic object that can easily be bought online is not a removal criteria.
I'm sorry to say this, but be prepared to hear from Niantic a new rejection to your request .
The 1st rejection criteria on the list has "mass produced, generic" in it.
Yeah, rejection criteria.
Unfortunately it's not the same than the removal criteria (you can see in the options listed in the app which ones are the reasons to request the removal of an existing wayspot)
*Going directly to Amazon to buy insect hotel
Seriously! There are many proposals for generic elements that I refuse (letterbox, street name plate, miniature statue, commercial insect hotel...). It seems to me that this was part of the criteria before! If we accept anything and everything, the game will be really anything. Rejection criteria and removal criteria must be the sames.
Appeal Denied - Thanks for the appeal, Agent. We gave it another look at the Portal in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
Niantic would have to employ a lot more workers if the criteria for rejection and removal were the same. Ever since Pokemon Go players were permitted to review, all sorts of trash gets through Wayfarer. And trash has been building up fast. In my small 70k people hometown, I'd remove at least 50 of the wayspots because they're generic or mass produced **** that cannot carry the name "POI". And no, I would not remove painted power boxes, at least thats some sort of art.
@NianticGiffard malgré votre appel refusé le portail vient d'être retiré du jeu . Merci de nous expliqué pourquoi
Cordialement
Unfortunately removal criteria is not the same as rejection criteria. They'll also keep Wayspots on restricted areas like military bases, unless the managers request the removal by themshelves.
And Merry Christmas ! ☃️🎄🎅
So why was the portal deleted ?
We can see there is already a new live Portal for the same object.
