Fishing wharfs
Hello,
recently I’ve been coming upon a lot of people submitting fishing wharfs. Are these eligible or should I be rejecting them?

The guidance most related to this is in the October clarifications.
Are piers/fishing docks/boat launches at parks being acceptable portal candidates? If there is a signboard for the location and there's pedestrian access to the sign, yes.
Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of signage they expect and tend to think the sign is more for "anchoring" the nomination, provide a physical manmade structure as opposed to a simple earthen landing, or just help prove its purpose.
I see many as scenic viewpoints and social gathering locations and typically accept them as such.
Do you have any specific examples you've seen? It's not always a "one answer fits all" scenario.

I think the general agreement was if they're important enough to have a name and sign then they're okay, but simple ones weren't (this is from memory - I can't find the guidance!).
Niantic previously sayed that they must have a sign.
