    Have you tried reading your acceptance email?

    Remember that not all accepted nominations will appear in all Niantic games (and may take up to 48 hours to appear)

    There are inclusion rules and spacing requirements for all the games. For Pokémon GO, you can only have one Wayspot appear in each S2 L17 cell. For Ingress, you can have many per cell, but they have to be 20m apart.

    You can check to see if they show in Ingress but don’t renominate them as they are already in the system and would be marked as duplicates.

    Hello and welcome @Magicdollars-PGO

    If you give a couple of examples - location and name we can help check.

    Likely explanation-

    The underlying issue is that Niantic have not explained what happens clearly.

    Although the impression you are given when you submit something is that you are submitting to be a pokestop the reality is that you are submitting something with the potential to be a pokestop.

    Your approved nomination is accepted not into Pokémon Go, but into the Lightship database - this holds all approved wayspots and is separate from all Niantic games. 

    That is the end point of wayfarer, and what happens next is not related to wayfarer.

    Each game sets its own rules as to what it will take from Lightship to use in that particular game.

    For Pokémon Go the rules revolve around the use of some mapping software commonly referred to as S2 cells it  breaks down the surface into smaller and smaller cells - each size is referred to as level and a number. 

    Google: S2 cells and Pokémon Go - Pokémongohub  has a very good explanation.

    The key is that in Pokémon Go only accepts 1 wayspot in each Level 17 cell, so if there is already a pokestop or gym in the game, in that cell, yours will not be selected to enter Pokémon Go.

    It is disappointing and frustrating when this happens, which is why it’s worth understanding all this before you submit.
