Title of the Wayspot: Kotisaari
Location: 66.487904,25.731939
City: Rovaniemi
Country: Finland
Screenshot of the Rejection Email: Was removed, not rejected
Photos to support your claim: No photos as it was removed, here's an intel link to where the portal used to be: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=66.487904,25.731939&z=15&pll=66.487904,25.731939
Additional information: The portal was removed because "it was unaccessible to peds". The portal has been regularly visited by agents from both factions during winter as well as summer. It is very accessible between November and April (check latitude, we have ice from late October to early May). During summer months it is accessible by rowboats and canoes, both of which are easily loanable from different parties in the city (both commercial and not so). A normally fit person with sufficient ability to swim can also easily reach the island from the swimming beach across the water as the island has a docking pier during summer months those who want to access the island by a boat or so.

True. Kotisaari is legit portal. Removing it was a hostile operation. Portal can be reached pretty easily.
Hello!
Portal "Kotisaari" was a very valid and good stategic portal accessable both summer and wintertime. Only a few weeks in spring and autumn it is a little bit challengin to get there. Which, in fact, just makes it a strategic portal!
I also hope the portal will be back in Intel map as soon as possible.

Hello,
Totally unnecessary removal. Lots of people visit at Kotisaari both winter and summer.
Easy to reach even summer time. The removal should be cancelled ASAP.

Strategic and valid portal. Hard to reach during summer, but not unreachable. Both factions have equal access by boat or by swimming. One of the most beautiful portals in the city. Totally unnecessary removal. Bring it back, please.
Very nice spot and valid also. Back asap
I'm wondering. who will remove it if it is safe to enter there
Someone who can't bother themself enough to access it during the months it can't be just walked to.
Here's a link to an article by Boredpanda.com that also shows that the island has attracted international interest as well: https://www.boredpanda.com/kotisaari-island-finland-all-seasons-jani-ylinampa/
Bring Kotisaari back!
To Whom It May Concern,
Location is accessible.
Unfortunately this removal was caused by some action which should not be part of gaming. I'm not sure why some people want act toxically and want to make the game and playing experience bad for other players. This game should be about respecting other players. Now there was immature bullying taking place.
In short, player community would appreciate if this legit portal would be returned to the game and unfriendly actions would be reversed.
Best regards
