Rural nominations not accepted along historical walking route

I live in a city so this summer vacation when visiting my family in a small town a school teacher friend of mine and I decided to create a Pokémon Go walking route for her elementary students so they can walk and learn about their town. We started by nominating 6 landmarks all along sidewalks in the town. ALL we’re rejected, even a veterans monument. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve been in cities in different countries and the simplest things are pokestops. We’ve decided to give up completely even though there are 2 foot bridges and a museum. When school starts in a few weeks, she’s not going to bother.

Care to share screenshots of your nominations? You did post this in the Nomination Improvements section, so it would very much help to be able to see what nominations you made that got rejected. Upload any screenshots using the paperclip 📎 icon.
Show your full nomination, including title, description, photos, supporting statements, and locations.
This sounds cool. I hope you post your nominations and get some advice/help on how to improve them.
Sometimes it only needs a small tweak to get them through if they are eligible.
It's my experience that most reviewers have zero understanding of rural norms .. they haven't a clue. Unless it's a lone basketball hoop on tarmac or a route marker they haven't a clue. The submission and review process is entirely arbitrary doesn't encourage quality submissions is unaccountable and should be avoided. Fix it Niantic as all the decent submitters are voting with their feet.
@TreckoTracker-PGO Join the rest of us venting in General discussion. Valid point. Wrong place in nomination :-)
And by the way a request was made to Lidleleelee-PGO to share their nominations so we could, if we could, help the nomination. None of us know if any nominations were valid, how we could help etc.
It is, just a comment, without evidence and therefor in isolation of any reality to and for the rest of us.
And I say that with a sad face. Because all of us have had nominations fail. And we often want to know why. And we want to help others who have had the same frustrations. And most of us learn through the shared experience to be better nominators and or reviewers.
