Additional information: Hello, I am writing to you about this portal invalid for various reasons.
Initially it is a duplicate of the existing portal called a church (the photo of the portal is attached) in fact if you see the photo of the cemetery you will notice the church which is part of the same structure.
The second reason why it is invalid is stated in the wayfarer guidelines as cemeteries are valid only if monumental and that cemetery is not.
Furthermore, being at the entrance many children gather there causing annoyance to those who go to the cemetery to pray for their deceased loved ones.
We kindly ask you to cancel the wayspot Orbassano Cemetery. Thank you.

Appeal Denied - Thanks for the appeal, Trainer. We took another look at the Pokéstop/Gym in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
I am really embittered. Doesn't meet your criteria and isn't that already a good reason to take it off? So what are the wayfarer criteria and the AMAs if they are not respected? In addition to being invalid, it is also in bad taste that children go to play in a cemetery.
Just because something doesn't meet the acceptance criteria doesn't mean it meets the removal criteria. As outlined in the last AMA, the removal criteria are as follows:
Niantic will only remove Wayspots if they meet one or more of the above conditions. And if Niantic initially rejected the invalid Wayspot report, you most provide photographic evidence proving your claim. Screenshots from a game does not prove anything.
The main structure is the Church as seen from both maps and streetwiev, images attached. We are reporting the cemetery as a duplicate since it is part of the same structure and the two POIs are very close but it is always rejected.
I confirm too this is a duplicate and reject my report too
I've contacted the probed owner of the property and he doesn't want the graveyard to remain in the game. Find everything in the annexes and proof that she is the mayor
@NianticGiffard good morning, is there any news? as you can see from my friend gatsu he contacted the mayor of the town directly and she doesn't want the cemetery in the game (all written in the screens). We trust that with these further tests and the desire of the mayor of the town in wanting to remove that point of interest you will listen to us.
If the property owner of the graveyard does not want the Wayspot, they must contact Niantic via the form provided in the Pokémon GO or Ingress Help centers. Players cannot act as intermediaries.
