Invalid Wayspot Appeal: Thankful Buddha / Happy Buddha Statue
Edit: Please note that I am reporting two portals together. They are at the same location and the exact same reasoning and evidence applies to both. I tried posting as separate topics but only one got approved by moderators.
Title of the Wayspot:
- Thankful Buddha (https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=-32.073276,115.893671)
- Happy Buddha Statue (https://intel.ingress.com/intel?pll=-32.073408,115.893516)
Location:
- -32.073276,115.893671

City: Perth
Country: Australia

Additional information & Photos:
Both Wayspots are located at a commercial business (Soils Ain't Soils). The business sells garden supplies, including pots, fountains and statues. The statues in the photos were a former merchandise which was for sale and has now been sold and is no longer in stock. There are no Buddha statues matching either photo at the site.
This is the building that is visible on the satellite view:

Views from inside the building:
While walking around I did find SOME Buddha statues, however all were for sale. They all have orange price tags on them, and none were permanent fixtures. Furthermore, none of the Buddha statues currently on sale even matched the statues in the portal photos.











Comments
There's another portal with its statue gone, too, right?
I had a similar case - there was a fountain for display at a Home Depot store. The fountain is gone now, but the portal stayed.
Yes there is. I tried posting separate appeals for each statue (cause I think it’s one appeal post per portal?) but the second one didn’t get approved because I guess it was assumed to be a duplicate post to this one.
I’ll edit in the removal details for the other statue portal today.
Appeal Accepted- Thanks for the appeal, Agent. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Portal in question.
