How are remove reports processed?

Two days ago I reported a Pokéstop called "Escuchadores en el parque". It featured a toy (a "speaking tube" or "voice pipe") that does not exist any more.
The pokestop takes its name from the toy itself, that was removed in a massive rebuilding of parks and playgrounds that took place in Madrid between 2020 and 2021.
But the report has not been heard.
Taking into consideration that, when I signed to verify the existence of pokéstops I was offered Pokéstops miles away from my home, I wonder if places that NO LONGER EXIST can be removed successfully.
As an example, in Paseo del Prado, Madrid, you have:
a) "El mito perdido - Igor Mitiraj". Name and first photo of this pokèstop were took from Flickr photos (I suspect MY flikr photos) even when they came from a temporary sculpture exhibition that took place YEARS before Pokémon Go was developed. Now, the place depicts a fountain that has nothing to do with Igor Mitoraj.
b) "Menina de Manolo Valdés" was another Pokéstop from a temporay exhibition. Now it depicts a street bollard, since the plastic "Menina" (Little Girl) designed by Manolo Valdés has disappeared.
Comments
They are processed very slowly. And many times they reject the removal and you have to appeal them.
