    Can you show the full details? Also, is it;

    • A great place to be social with others
    • A great place for exercise
    • A great place for exploration

    If not, then it’s rightly rejected.

    Those rejection reasons seem incorrect, which is thoroughly frustrating and occasionally suspicious. That said, I tend to agree with the other commenters that these submissions seem like they would need some very persuasive supplementary information to convince reviewers that they meet criteria.

    Did you also get "Other Rejection Criteria"? This means reviewers don't think it's eligible. It's usually the primary rejection reason when it is listed and should be your main focus when you receive it.

    If you got "other" then I suggest you follow the advice above and work on your supporting information. If you would like ideas on how to do this, you can post your full submissions in Nomination Improvement.

    along with that are you able to repost the submisstions but with better supporting facts?

    Neither of those meets the eligibility criteria. And neither your supporting photo nor supporting information helps at all.

    Your supporting information should explain why your submissions are a great place to explore, exercise, or socialize. If there are exhibits about the school's history, gyms, or club rooms inside the buildings those are some things that might fit the above categories. You would need to describe them in your supporting information to convince reviewers they qualify.

    Reviewers can see how many wayspots already exist nearby when they review so no need to say that. "No stops" is also not a reason to accept a submission. Many submitters write that, even when there are lots of wayspots. Reviewers get tired of seeing it, and some may flag it as abuse or at least look more critically at the rest of the submission.

    Your supporting photo should show your submission and the surrounding area. It can be used by reviewers to locate the wayspot when there's no Streetview, confirm pedestrian access, check for private residential property, etc.
