Is this seriously a valid waypoint criteria?

Meteorvej 65A, 2730 Herlev, Denmark
Story: The same player that made this:
has now got the above waypoint approved. Basically, its one of 6 signs surrounding a huge lawn telling people that dogs are not allowed (see full picture below) - and then informing people where to go with their dogs.
(The lawn is used mostly as a emergency helipcopter landing spot for the nearby hospital).
It's the one and only sign thats close enough for him to have it as a couch portal, (surprise).
Full sign here:
Is "no dogs allowed" signs really valid as waypoints??

No, it should not have been approved but it probably will not meet removal criteria unless you submit evidence that the area is used for emergency services and it gets removed as an obstruction.
If its a couch pokestop or not doesn't count. Please don't let envy blind you
It's an infosign for a recreational area. Fits every criteria.
And I do hope that vandalism of the sign will stop. Players out there: Don't let game envy result in criminal actions
It doesn't meet the eligibility criteria and shouldn't have been approved in the first place. It is not an educational/informational sign that promotes public learning and awareness, despite what the poster above me claims. But it also doesn't meet any removal criteria either.
So as an argument for the portal is written “the area is used for many common activities, such as sankt hans, sleigh rides, sports and social gatherings” if that stands as a criteria, basicalley ANY lawn, with a sign could be made a portal….
The welcome sign represents and is located at the entrance to the “Green Areas”. The Green Areas are a locally popular area and a great place to be social with others. Which appears from the description - but has in recent years of course been limited by COVID19.
By googling a bit, the following can be found to support this:

So to write that the area is "a helicopter landing site" and the portal "a dog sign" is in my opinion misleading and exaggerated. By reading reviewer posts, as well as previous posts, I think there are undertones of something personal against another player.
In my opinion, the portal meets the criteria.
Yes I know. never mind what that guy (schatchaos) wrote. He's a good friend with the portal submitter and has also admitted to cheat in Ingress so what we writes has no value. (Claming "vandalism" is also just a **** lie). ;)
No. It just says dogs arn't allowed. And things do change. Those links are 8-9 yers old.
