Hello! I've submitted several nominations that have been accepted and some that haven't which in my view are more fun and interesting.
Title: Legend & Stardust
Description: Street signs for the intersection of Legend Ln and Stardust Ln. Make sure to catch a Pokemon here for good luck!
Location:
How much more perfect could a Pokemon stop be than at the corner of Legend and Stardust? quiet neighborhood with sidewalk access everywhere, great to get outside and go for a walk. The signs are between the sidewalk and roadway, not on private residence grounds and is not even a gated community.
Rejection Criteria:
Other Rejection Criteria
Location Inappropriate
What am I missing? I don't understand how it's inappropriate when it has sidewalk access right up to it, it's not on the residential property, and it's safe access. Personally I get my exercise by walking on the sidewalks and explore the neighborhood often.
Other Rejection Criteria is probably the most useless reason without forcing a reason to help understand it. I'm debating if it's worth an appeal but I know that can take a long time to get to as my other rejected on from October is still unchecked. Any insight or thoughts appreciated.

I would ignore the rejection reasons. Street signs are not really eligible due to them being mass produced and abundant.
You shouldn't really mention specific games or game related info when submitting. Lots of reviewers don't like it and will reject you.
I would personally try to find something else rather than appeal the signs :)
Yes it’s a fun combination, but that does not make it an acceptable spot.
Wayspots should be places that are interesting and distinctive independently of a game. So once you take that element away it just becomes a street sign.
Ok, fair enough I’ll move along and try to find things that are fun agnostic.
I do find the combo of names interesting.... I'd have been slightly tempted to vote for it as a cute sign to explore to.....
BUT then I'd come to my senses and think about my rating/agreements reviewing.
1* = Easy agreement

Rating could take a hit from scoring it as passible, especially if this was a Niantic Plant.
PS: Can't say I have never nominated bad nomination for word play. When I first started nominating 2019ish, I nominated a place called "Giovanni Bakery" for the sole reason that the name Giovanni was the Pokemon Team Rocket boss and thought it would be funny to have an encounter there if it because a stop
"Other Rejection Criteria" means reviewers don't think it meets any criteria. Because it doesn't. For the current AMA, someone asked if this wording could be changed to "Meets no criteria". If you read this before the AMA deadline, you could hop over to that forum and give it an up vote, increasing its odds of being addressed.
"Location Inappropriate" was probably someone trying to tell you that street signs are not appropriate wayspots.
Which Wayspot criteria does your candidate meet in the first place?

I think the explanation is inappropriate.
Wayspots are reflected in games other than Pokemon GO.
Be considerate of other game users.
Blatant and ignorant Pokemon trainers are disliked by the judges.
