Additional information:
This is a nomination of mine accepted around September or October of 2018. Back then I was a bit less careful when it came to nominations on PRP (private residential property) because in some places it was harder to find interesting stuff to nominate. Currently I am trying to clean up these mistakes by trying to remove as many of my accepted PRP wayspots as possible.
I have not made any photos for this one as I feel just using Google Maps it's very clear this statue is on PRP.

What, you want to delete your own wayspot ?
I doubt it’s his own.
Why not. It's on private residential property. Shouldn't have been accepted in the first place.
Got a handful more in other nearby towns which are similar to this. A religious statue standing/hanging on a facade in a similar situation like this report.
It sure is my own. Portal only has one photo which is still the one I used back in 2018.
0 interet to delete
Facade of a single residential home connected to the walkway of a street is still considered private residential property. If this building were to be an appartment for example it would be fine to stay. But it isn't so it should go.
I understand but the waypoint have been accepted, if niantic don't want to delete this, you must stop
The first step is to try and get it removed by in-game means which is the report feature found both in Ingress and Pokémon GO. Not sure if Pikmin or any other Niantic games have this option.
If that fails, as Niantic employees can make mistakes, you are free to appeal their decision using this forum. That's what I'm doing here.
No need to tell me to stop trying to appeal their first decision. It's a reason this forum section exists for players to 'fight back' (ake appeal) using evidence and stuff in case you still think a Niantic employee messed up on their first decision. This happens a lot when it comes to wayspots found on private residential property.
If they do decide to keep this wayspot then it's over and I will respect their decision. It would be a shame though as I will repeat once more. This wayspot is on the facade of a single family private residential property which it not allowed and should have been intercepted by the players reviewing in the first place.
I must say I did ignore to make clear photos of the entrance of this house to show it only holds a single household. But on the other hand I feel this was not necessary at all to do so. Using Google Street View it's clear to me that this is not a multi household structure like for example an appartment building.
you react 4 years later, and it's your own request, you're *** or you're doing it on purpose
you will likely be punished after deleting the poi. niantic is punishing you for reporting bad spots. if it's yours, you'll feel the more
@ElgambinoJoyBoy-PGO I have no clue what you said that made Niantic edit your post but please be mindful with your words and keep it clean, respectful and helpful in here. No need to curse at me. Instead you should fight the appeal and tell me why this wayspot on private residential property is valid in your opinion.
That aside I don't think I did much wrong. Yes I did nominate an object which is on private residential property. But back in 2018 we did not have Wayfarer. Instead we had a system called 'Operation Portal Recon' (OPR in short). In this system before Pokémon GO players could nominate points of interests the rules were vague and not shared well compared to this great Wayfarer page we have today. Due to this mistakes were easier to be had on both ends, either nominating or reviewing points of interest.
But why should I be punished for removing an invalid Wayspot? There are two layers where mistakes can happen. First layer is by a single person who's nomating a point of interest. The second layer is an unknown amount of people reviewing said object. If multiple players accept an invalid point of interest I would say the problem was bigger in layer two as quality control was larger. True, I should not have tried to nominate this but know that nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. This happens on both ends, either nominating or reviewing.
I currently have several hundred accepted nominations on my profile. A handful out of those being incorrect can happen and I am here to fix those. You should not shove all the blame onto me but also on the reviewing players who blindly accepted this object on private residential property.
Thank you.
Thanks for the appeal, Agent. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question.
