Can you please provide details of your accepted nomination in question? Someone in this forum may check for you.
As your acceptance email states, not all nominations are eligible to appear in all Niantic games. Each game has a proximity rule that determines which wayspots can be used in that game. The likelihood is that there's already a Pokéstop or Gym in the level 17 S2 cell where your nomination is, and as the Pokémon Go proximity rule is that there's a limit of one Pokéstop or Gym per level 17 S2 cell, your nomination is unable to appear in Pokémon Go. It may be used in other games though, as those have different proximity rules.
If you want to read more about S2 cells in Pokémon Go, there is a guide to them on Pokémon Go Hub that you can find by using your favourite search engine. If you can't figure out how to view them yourself, you're welcome to post the name and GPS coordinates of your wayspot here and someone can give you a visual demonstration of why your nomination isn't appearing.
There's a pinned post at the top of this forum that has Niantic's official response: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/41750/my-wayspot-nomination-was-accepted-but-does-not-appear-in-my-game-s-where-did-it-go
