Hi,
when I read the reason behind the rejection I can't understand why, because it says that It didnt answer to the eligibility criteria, so I searched and find that it need to be one of those 3: Perfect place to explore, to exercice or to exchange with other people , they even say that Local coffee shop and popular restaurant are eligible... I just submit a unique local bakery that let people sit outside, to let them talk or eat around a croisant, a sandwhich baguette or even some drink.
I know this is my first Wayspot that i'm asking but I'm pretty sure I did everything right and I don't know how much time the "reclamation" I send will take time..
I don't know if it change something but I think maybe some people are just refusing right when they saw it's in french? But I want to do it in French that's our language here... I really hope my Wayspot will get approved someday...
Thank you for your help :)
Have a great day !

You can't appeal rejected nominations here, though I'm guessing you have pressed the appeal button within Wayfarer itself? If you're looking for ways to improve your nomination, then this thread would probably be better suited for the Nomination Improvements section. If you ask one of the mods to move it there, I'm sure they'll oblige.
Hi,
Sorry didn't know where to write that ... but it is not to improve my nomination, it's just that I want to know how much time niantic take to verify my demand about my rejection, because it makes no sense that it has been rejected.
Thank you and sorry again if I'm not where I should be lol and yes, if a mod can move it, that could help me :) I'll ask ( dont know how but I'll search :) )
Edit: Maybe I need to tag someone like that... @NianticVK
Thanks for the appeal, @CrissDeBonTacos-PGO! We're not currently reviewing PokéStop submissions. Please resubmit the nomination by improving its title/description if you feel that it was a valid nomination.
Thank you ! But that's the problem.... I'm pretty sure everything was perfect for this place... I can't really improve it...
Can it be a possibility that most people just rejected it because it's in French? ... ( even if we all speak French in my area).
EDIT: and I don't want to pass another 2 weeks reviewing everythin for nothing again , I reviewed 276 page and I only had 1 chance to submit a pokestop... ( can't I take the one people rejected? )
Thank you!
Ok, this is just ridiculous , I'm giving up.. it is really so much problem and complicated to simply create a wayspot.
I know my application was a good one, it have everything it need, I'm pretty sure it's only because it was in French! That's pretty unfair.
I reviewed like 200 applications for nothing... that was a big waste of time.
I'm pretty upset by this outcome... :(
What you are submitting is considered generic business by many reviewers.
I’ve never heard someone say “everything was perfect for this place, I can’t really improve it” . Your picture alone needs improving. If you’re not willing to put in the work to find out what makes a good nomination, then you will continue to get rejections. Your choice.
Thanks , that can finally be helpful to know ! I still know myself that it is not a generic business, that's why I say that this is the only one in my aera , I can't find a place like that in less than 3-4 km around.
But thank you It is still helpful to know that this can be an issue, ( still its frustrating lol )
But now it mean I will never be able to create a wayspot there 😕 that's disappointing with all of the wayspot I see around!
Thanks man ! I really appreciate!
3-4km isn't very far. If there is something special about this cafe, other than being the only one in the neighborhood, it could get accepted. If you have links to official reviews or awards, or if it makes some unique product, it could qualify for those.
Thanks again! I said 3-4 km but I'm not sure how far did I need to walk to see another one ! :P
But yes I will try to find something then !
Thanks again ! :) Have a good day !
Well this comment was not helpful at all.
I'm not even sure how can I improve the picture ... , we don't see a single people around, it show the name of the place, it show clearly the kind of place is it, and nothing block the way of the business 🤔...
Saying my choice at the end ..well 👍...
You say that if I'm not willing to put effort to find out what makes a good nomination.... ,you clearly didn't read at all all my post... I tried since start to ask what was incorrect In my nomination so I can maybe fix it ! I just never had a clear answer ! I don't want to pass another 200 nominations to simply "give it a try" again , to be rejected again ... I'm waiting since May... I don't have a wayspot near me, and I really think this place could use one ! It is really a good little spot for people in my area to gather and chat :)
I really hope you understand my point ... I didn't just came here without notice and just bullshiting around everything because I got rejected! I tried to understand why and wanted to fix it 😕 I already "lose" a couple of hours since May on this only wayspot...I really think that is enough effort to put into my little nomination ! I just don't find it fair with all those wayspot who are way less "important" in my area . ( and I don't have much " lol
Anyway still, have a good day!
This is just an example…your picture shows a sidewalk and a brick wall. Focus on the nomination.
Thanks man ! I will do it :)
