Hi, do you guys have any suggestions? Or should I resubmit it as is? It has been rejected for not having safe pedestrian access before or for being a natural feature. This latest rejection was simply for "not meeting acceptance criteria" even though its a great place for exploration and exercise as I noted in my supporting info. Unfortunately there isn't a sign at the launch, its just the launch, but that should disqualify it right? What do you guys think? Should i make my supporting evidence clearer or rearrange how its written?

The nomination is basically an anonymous slab of concrete, so I think you're going to struggle to get this one through even if it does "promote exercise" by giving you somewhere to launch your canoe from. The access and natural feature rejections were wrong but the "doesn't meet criteria" one is fine IMHO. Not visually unique/interesting.
When Niantic responded to a similar quesiton in the past involving boat launches, they stated that a sign was required to identify the location.
Its the same as with plazas. Without a sign, it can also ve something way different.
Looking at your submission photo, it looks like a generic slab of concrete. It needs a sign of some sort, otherwise the 3 rejections so far appear valid to me. "1* - The object is mass-produced, generic, or not visually unique or interesting". Telling reviewers that his nomination "definately meets eligability criteria" does not help either.
Thanks for the feedback!
