Long list of fire station waypoints that should be removed
Each of these has a strong potential to obstruct EMS and causes confusion among players who then wonder if they should nominate their own local fire station. None of these are a good place to play any AR games and should be removed. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for sharing! We have reviewed the report and have taken action on 13 Wayspots in accordance with our policies. Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.
Thank you!
I found another one as well

Thanks for the follow-up! We've retired this Wayspot as well.
@NianticGiffard Seeing that the OP in this thread posted multiple invalid wayspot appeals in one thread, I assume that acceptable to do? I am asking because I've compiled a long list of possible invalid wayspot appeals.
Thank you.
Yes. However, please ensure not to post in multiple comments, sharing it in a single post will do.
Much appreciated for the clarification. If I have a photosphere, add that in?
Sharing as much as evidence possible is always good for us.
Lol. Very weird
Several reports not handled and via the forum it is working
Is a fire station.
Is a police station
Entire cluster is next to the ambulance entrance.
Is at the entrance of a military base.
All reported, all remain online.
It's so weird that never once in 6 years did a pokemon player obstruct emergency services at those places. But by all means remove them even though no one has ever complained.
By all means read the rules before you submit any waypoints.
Hey @NianticGiffard one of my approved discussions was somehow removed after I tried to make some edits to it. Can you please look into this? Thank you.
Hi, @NianticGiffard , you really removed all 13? I understand #2, #5, #8, #10 and #11. Yes, they should be removed. But others? They don't block the entrance. They are on grass, there are sidewalks nearby. I don't understand this decision, sorry.
Well, unless they were called "Fire Department" Then the decision to remove is more understandable.
Yes some of them were misplaced, that doesn't change the fact that fire stations should not be wayspots.
@NianticGiffard can you please lock this thread? i'm not sure why so many people decided to come hang out here.

The facility is located on a lane of a road intended for pedestrians
in no case does the location of the facility block the access for emergency services and does not hamper the operation of the fire station
@NianticGiffard take a second look at all deleted objects and place a restriction on the account of people who are trying to remove the correct objects
here's the problem. fire department, police, hospital, school. as if they cannot arise. most often, portals are in places where you can turn them or pick up the keys even from the road or sidewalk. unfortunately for some, niantic's regulations are more important than common sense.
Być może nie zrozumiałam do końca, kim jest ambasador, ale wydaje mi się, że to taka osoba, która rozmawia ze społecznością oraz wyjaśnia różne nieścisłości i spory. Ambasador ma słuchać głosu społeczności oraz sam nim być , prośba o zablokowanie wątku to także prośba o zablokowanie głosu społeczności. Dlaczego, sugerując zamknięcie wątku, chcesz uniemożliwić rozmowę i debatę społeczności na temat wayspotów?
Chciałabym przywołać fragment wypowiedzi Niantic Tintino
„The Community Ambassadors program is for a group of Wayfarer Explorers who believe in Niantic Wayfarer and are active participants in the official Wayfarer Community. They’re passionate about exploration, excited to engage with other Explorers, and share Explorer best practices (nominations, reviewing, edits, etc). The Community Ambassadors believe in the Wayfarer Community’s Mission and Vision by collaborating with the Community Manager and lifting the voice of the community”
Chcesz podnosić głos społeczności, zamykając dyskusję, w której może ona wyrażać swoje opinie? Czy naprawdę taka jest wizja Community: zamykanie dyskusji?
„Active participation can look like joining group meetings, providing insights from the community, helping to clarify community concerns, etc. ”
Właśnie masz okazję, aby pomóc wyjaśnić społeczności różne problemy, aby zebrać jej spostrzeżenia.
„Ambassadors are Explorer community members who volunteer to represent ... for other Explorers”
Czy naprawdę chcesz pozbawić osoby które reprezentujesz prawa głosu poprzez zamknięcie wątku? Moje pytania są retoryczne, naprawdę nie interesują mnie odpowiedzi na nie.
@Gotenhafen-PGO
The Wayspot Appeals section is for appealing posts, not for debate about Niantic’s rejection criteria.
In this case, Wayspots were reported, and Niantic agreed and removed them. This means that the topic has fulfilled its purpose and should be closed. Especially given the original posts were from September last year, and the post has been revived due to newer comments.
If people wish to have general ongoing discussion about Niantic’s removal criteria, they are free to start a topic in the General Discussion section.
I think ambassadors should talk to the community and clarify things, rather than asking to close/lock the discussion
Can you all Polish players not to derailing this thread further?
I'm happy to discuss why fire stations should not be wayspots literally any other place except this thread and in fact i have discussed it with people in several local discord servers which are very much my community.
@NianticGiffard again please close this thread. it's purpose was fulfilled months ago and i no longer want to receive notifications for off topic posts here.
