I have submitted this previously and it was denied stating it is a natural feature and that the picture low quality. I built this fountain and it is in the center of our campus where we get significant foot traffic. How could I improve this nomination if I were inclined to resubmit in the future?

Honestly, and I don't mean to offend, but it looks like a pile of builders rubbish next to a building.
The picture looks like a bunch of rocks with a water leak through it, its easy to understand why it was rejected.
Unless you can take a better picture that shows off your work and makes it look like a fountain, or it has some sign, I would give it up as a lost cause.
Yeah... sign would help. But also clean up around it. Rake the leaves out. Move the chunk of wood. And maybe neaten up the rocks on the edges so it looks more polished.
That's not a water fountain, it's just a stream. This is a water fountain.
Although the landscaping is man-made, the objects are not. The objects are rocks and water, all natural features.
From the information given, there is nothing notable or significant about it either. Therefore it's simply not eligible.
I agree with @oscarc1-ING's assessment.
I remember seeing a similar conversation about small man-made ponds (a koi pond) and even with a bubbling fountain I really don't think meets the intent of that was meant by Niantic's approval of "fountains."
Looks like its next to single family residential property.
You say there is a Tabernacle there. Submit the Tabernacle instead. Religious buildings get through easily.
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you taking time to help me understand what actions to take regarding this nomination.
