Hi, @NianticGiffard .
I have seen the following application.
Original Photo
I have seen a similar application from this town in the past, and
I rejected all of them, but I also found out that there were already Wayspots online around this application that I had rejected.
Can you guess why I have refused these applications?
Let me tell you why.
The application is written in Japanese and I will try to translate it into English.
Title:
東吾妻町 町道8006号線 起点
Higashiagatuma Town, starting point of town road 8006
Description:
町章は、東吾妻町の「ひ」をモチーフに、吾妻川沿いにひらけた新しい町をイメージし、上部には東西に流れる吾妻川や、自然の息吹の「波」が組み合わされ、青空や明るい未来をイメージさせる「ブルー」を基調とする。
The town emblem is based on the "ひ(hi)" in Japanese Hiragana of Higashiagatsuma Town. It is based on the image of a new town opening up along the Agatsuma River. The upper part of the emblem is a combination of the Agatsuma River flowing from west to east and the "wave" of the breath of nature.
The base color is blue, which evokes the image of a blue sky and a bright future.
Additional information:
田んぼ道の為、車、歩行者は無い。田植えの時のみ有り。 ３６０度写真撮影。コピペして確認下さい。
As this is a rice field road, there are usually no cars or pedestrians. They are only present during the planting season. We have already taken 360° photos. Please copy and paste the following URL to check.
So, first of all, let me tell you the conclusion.
I will tell you why I have refused this application and all previous applications from this town for similar piles.
The reason for this is that these stakes are placed in accordance with a Japanese law called the "Road Law", which states that for each road managed by a municipality, "the name of the route, the starting point, the ending point, important transitional places and other necessary matters must be publicly announced as specified by an ordinance of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism".
The reason is that they are simply marker stakes installed in accordance with the law.

Let's search for "道路法"(Road Law) using the law search engine provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
The result is the following Japanese.

(Public Notice of Recognition of Routes)
The prefectural governor or the mayor of municipality shall, when he/she has approved a route pursuant to the provision of Article 7 or the preceding Article, publicly notice the name of the route, the starting point, the ending point, important transitional places and other necessary matters pursuant to the provision of an Ordinance of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
That's right.
This is just a general thing.
They are not trail markers, nor are they POIs with any noteworthy information.
I therefore consider this application to be ineligible.
Unfortunately, there are many similar Google Street Views out there by the same photographer of this same 360 degree photo.
It is likely that they were based on them, but it seems that there are already multiple similar ones ONLINE as Wayspots in the vicinity of this application site.
This is a very serious situation.
Because it has been made into a Wayspot just because "there is a path there".
It's not a trail course or anything.
These are just piles erected by the government to mark the beginning and end of a "town road" maintained by the town.
This is a case of an applicant submitting an application that should not have been submitted, and
This is a very unfortunate example of the judges who easily approved it and then went ONLINE because of the cooperation between the two.
The damage seems to have been done all over Higashiagatsuma Town.
This general piles, which has gone ONLINE as a wayspot in this vicinity, has

Please imagine.
Imagine the horror of having every single road in your town turned into a Wayspots.
In this Higashiagatsuma Town, I also found mass-produced streetlights that have become Wayspots.
Overall, we got the impression that this is an abused town.
Please investigate these applicants and Wayspots.

Hi, @NianticGiffard .
I told you that mass-produced streetlights are being Wayspotted here in Higashiagatsuma Town, didn't I?
Their location is as follows
Title of the Wayspot:町田建具店街灯の『スイセンレリーフ』
Location:https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=36.543606,138.930563&z=18
InetlMap & IITC
Google Street View
Sure enough, the same person who had applied for the aforementioned piles had taken the street views.
However this is a mass-produced product.
If you explore the city a bit on Street View, you'll soon realise that there are street lamps of exactly the same design all over the area.
for example
e.t.c.,e.t.c.,......
You can see that there is a streetlight of the same design for every single house built in this vicinity.
It is disagree that only the streetlights mentioned above are Wayspot.
I think that, in order to create one Wayspot for every yellow diamond shape we see at the IITC
I think that Pokémon users intentionally created this streetlight as a Wayspot.
There seems to be almost no ingress AG activity in this area, so my hypothesis may not be wrong.
I have no idea why we need one Wayspot for every yellow diamond in the IITC, but
But as I looked at the captured screen, that think naturally came to my brain.
In conclusion, I would like to share with you my opinion that the mass-produced "Title of the Wayspot: 町田建具店街灯の『スイセンレリーフ』(Machida Furniture Store Street Lamp 'Daffodil Relief')" is inappropriate.
Hi, @NianticGiffard .
I have just received this application.
Additional information
There is a Monju-do gym nearby and you can visit Monju-do and feel the history. There are not many gyms and pokestops in the area, so more gyms and pokestops would make it easier for players to play. We would like to increase the number of gyms and pokestops so that players can play more comfortably and enjoyably. Please help us.
The application is from the town of Higashiagatsuma Town.
It seems that he still intends to make this common piles a Wayspot.
Hi, @NianticGiffard .
I have just received this application.
The description is exactly the same as for the application property mentioned above. It is a copy and paste.
Hi, @NianticGiffard .
I have just now judged the "桔梗の街灯(bellflower lamp post)".
In Higashiagatsuma Town, the same applicant is probably the same person who applied for the aforementioned
Title of the Wayspot: "Daffodil Relief" on Machida Furniture Store Street Lamp
Location:https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=36.543606,138.930563&z=18
The applicant has applied this time not for a "Daffodil Relief" but for a "bellflower lamp post".
However, the two designs are identical.
This is the same mass-produced lamppost that is being attempted to ONLINE as a Wayspot throughout Higashiagatsuma Town.

We took another look at the reported locations and decided that the Wayspots do not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
