@NianticGiffard I know in the past you've been able to take action quickly to make title changes. Can you please ask the team to look at this Wayspot? I understand if the team doesn't think "sensitive locations" like a cemetery meet removal criteria, but can you please press for a title edit to something less emotionally triggering. "In loving memory" should be sufficient enough.
Yeah, so that one, seems more general and blanket. May be a religious statement, but if it's a general "memorial" stone in a public park (I have seen these exact kinds before) I'd say its fine.
Otherwise a single individual, would fall under the same classification as a regular tombstone. No go.
There's argument for approval on a memorial to a notable individual, famous, or influential in the local community. But an unborn child would not fit into any of those categories.
I view memorials as distinct from gravestones, so I would tend to accept them for famous people or groups of people. Part of it would depend on the location and whether it's a clear public monument in its own little space (which I think is fine), or something small and tucked away in a cemetery. I'd also be more inclined to accept a memorial for a historic event if it was in a cemetery, vs something that offered generic blanket coverage like for unborn children.
I think the uniqueness of it definitely plays a role. I don't think these are inherently ineligible, but depends on the situation.
That one is just plain inappropriate, shoving political beliefs about abortion down people's throats. I don't memorials to any random people that are not historically relevant or a notable local figure should be accepted period (including fetuses or infants), but the one in this example is worse than the typical ineligible memorial objects like benches.
We have reviewed the report and have made necessary changes to Wayspot in accordance with our policies. Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.

Probably relevant.
