Why has my Pokestop been rejected?
Hello in the mail says the following
Hi Trainer Nightwalker0101,
Thank you for proposing the PokéStop small waterfall on 08/27/2021. Your proposal was rejected for the following reason: The proposal does not meet the acceptance criteria, The proposal appears to be a natural feature (for example, a waterfall, mountain, or lake) that is not associated with a man-made object.
So I honestly don't feel like it anymore, every **** gets unlocked but an artificial stream with a small waterfall gets rejected again? Since you can see how it is rated here, if you look properly, then you would see that this small waterfall was created artificially. I find the statement in the mail so what of contradictory, according to the statement go only objects created by humans. Although this was created by people. I do not know what speaks against it, because you can see this small waterfall from the pedestrian path.
When I look at the environment with me is mostly every **** unlocked and objects from nature not. I slowly have the feeling here rate anti-nature User!!

How does this meet any acceptance criteria?
I don’t see how this meets any criteria. Correct rejection to me.
Landscaping, even though man-manipulated, still falls under natural feature. And this artificial stream is indistinguishable from a natural stream that has been lined with pavers to prevent erosion.
I am curious, does anyone know if all the different labels in the wayfarer are valid wayspots?
Reviewing Wayspot nominations involves your good judgement. There is no single set of rules or person who can tell a community in black and white what places are important where others are not. That's why there will always be some 'grey area' in our collective goal to map the most interesting local places. What really influences reviews is how content is presented to convince reviewers that a nomination supports Niantic's mission and follows the rules around abuse, accuracy, and intent.
To help you submit the best possible content for a nomination, follow the guidelines below. Keep these guidelines in mind when reviewing nominations as well.
I’m sorry your nomination got rejected @Nightwalker0101-PGO even if you read through all of the nomination criteria, and take a great photo and a perfect description, it might still get rejected by someone who’s just trying to go through as many reviews as they can, as fast as possible, to get their own nomination fast-tracked.
On a related note, I live in Denmark and along with Danish nominations, I receive a lot of German, Polish and Swedish nominations. I really wish everyone would stick to English (even though it’s not required) because otherwise I have to translate the description, which can be a bother.
Re: The list: It absolutely is not a list of valid submissions, it includes things like elementary schools that are specifically excluded.
The "What is it?" list has not barring on what is acceptable and what is not. It is just a list of categories that can be applied to the Waypsot if a nomination is accepted.
Niantic are just trying to add more detail to their commercial Waypoint database with the "What is it" list. Being listed does not indicate an acceptable nomination type.
This question still hasn't been answered. Of the three criteria categories, this doesn't seem to meet any. You need to make a case that it meets at least one criteria.
This canal would not be a destination for exercise.
It is not a place to gather socially.
You couldn't explore the canal.
Hello so you want me to translate in English for the descriptions for Wayfarer? So there are garages, power boxes, signs, etc. So there you can meet? :D so people everyone has a different opinion and somehow half do not understand why you suggested a stop. I can very well imagine that the majority here just clicks through the reviews without briefly engage! The small waterfall is man-made and leads directly into the recreation area and the forest. So you can follow the stream very well. So I have also written in the description. Vllt Niantec should include an auto translation so that you do not always have to translate.
I think it's a shame that such great spots are simply rejected and many pointless unlocked.
Edit I have translated the extended description for Wayfarer in English and left the rest in German.
