Recovery of a Wayspot that doesn't appear on ANY game map despite being accepted

I hope this is the appropriate category to post this request, since technically it is neither a nomination appeal nor a proper bug report... Despite being accepted through the regular evaluation process, the Wayspot in question has apparently been discarded from its inclusion as part of the Wayfarer database, regardless of its potential appearance in games like Ingress and Pokémon Go, and therefore we'd like to ask for it to be considered for reinstation.

Title of the Wayspot: Capitello del parco

Nomination ID: kF3tC03cjOH6M0YWoOcVZtWrGvEvLPUMxOQ+yO/P6V8=

Additional information: Despite the fact that the result of the evaluation process should have already been decided upon, we've been able to verify that this Wayspot has been incorrectly removed from Niantic's database, therefore preventing the PoI itself from being registered and appearing on ANY game map. As you can check for yourself by referring to the nomination ID and the screenshot we're attaching below, the Wayspot was regularly accepted thanks to the evaluation process by the community, but to this day we haven't been able to demonstrate its existence as part of the Wayfarer database.

As you can see from the date of the proposal, the nomination was approved long before the introduction of the Lightship platform, but the fact remains that even after the new features have been made available to the players, there is still no way for us to verify whether or not this Wayspot has been correctly integrated on some sort of platform or if it needs to go through the nomination process once again, which in principle should not be the correct approach to handle this.

At the time, the e-mail accompanying the final decision on the nomination came with the typical statement that the Wayspot might not have appeared as a Pokéstop or Gym according to the inclusion rules of the game, and while this was in fact intended behaviour, it would appear that the Point of Interest we requested hasn't appeared either as a Portal in Ingress nor as a Wayspot on Wayfarer!

Thanks to the launch of the new feature in Pokémon Go enabling players to see the existence of surrounding Wayspots that already appear in other Niantic games, we have finally been able to confirm that the Wayspot has not been registered correctly onto the platform, incongruently with what had previously been disclosed. It's therefore because of this reason that we as a community would like to ask for it to be recovered as part of the database. Although we remain aware that the inclusion rules might prevent us specifically from enjoying its benefits directly, we would still be more than happy to know we have contributed towards the expansion of the platform, giving some closure to this nomination which has been stuck in the limbo for almost 2 years and awaiting for directions on how to handle similar situations in the future. We're thankful for your attention and we'll be looking forward to your response!
