Somebody submitted and the local pokemon group approved an illegal pokestop at a grade school. Needs to be removed per niantic rules of nothing to be located on k-12 school property
Comments
Currently basketball courts in K12 locations can be nominated, but they are valid only for the upcoming NBA game.
a new NBA game is coming. that's why basketball is a plus in schools
How did you conclude that the name of a shopping center is somehow a Basketball Court at a school?
And if this new NBA game is coming, then those poi should NOT physically exist in pokemon go under any circumstances at grade schools.
When Niantic got the data for basketball courts from Courts of the World and imported it into the database, the wayspots often had bad titles, no description, no photo, and they only appeared in Pokémon Go and not in Ingress, even if the wayspot was then edited to improve the title and description and give it a photo. This wayspot has all of those hallmarks, and if you go to the Courts of the World website you'll likely find a court with that title in that location.
You are correct that it shouldn't be in Pokémon Go as it's on K-12 property, but it is eligible to be in the database for use in the NBA game, as per Niantic's recently announced exception.
That makes sense then on how it appeared in pokemon go since it showed some of those characteristics.
But good news is that per niantic support, the pokestop at the grade school has been deleted out of pokemon go.
Yes, you can ask Niantic only to remove the Wayspot from Pokemon GO.
