I'm very confused why my nomination did not get approve. My nomination is as same as other Pokestops nearby for everyting. But afer review, it showed that not meet accapatance.
It's actualy 99% of pokestop in Thailand is Shirne. My nomination is the shirne with clear picture and located along the street to access.
How can get approval and get answer?

Please can you show the whole nomination including the title, description, location and supporting information? Then we can offer the best advice.
By its look, is the shrine located on the front yard of a single family property? If so, the answer is no, you can't nominate a shrine in front of your house.
The location is quite in the public area because here is in the hotel area. The shiren just have the short tree surrounded (not placed in the yard).
I up load some pictures for you guy to help for review. Could you help to check what I have to change or adjust
Sorry if my enlish may confused you.
Sorry if my English might confused you.
Sorry for late reply. I've attached more picture for your review. Could you help me check what/why my nomination get rejected. Sorry if my english may make you confused.
That should be accepted.
Only thing I can think is that it is in a private hotel.
That doesn't disqualify it
I had a shrine at a hotel in Bangkok approved when I visited a couple years back, it looks like this. It should be acceptable.
Check that it is visible on street view, and do a photosphere if needed.
What were the reject reasons provided in the email?
I’m not super-confident I know exactly where those shrines are based on the info in this thread, but it’s a beautiful photo and looks like it would make a great point of interest.
I typically include hotels in "A generic business, chain, or franchise that is not locally unique". However, in this case I would have accepted it given the cultural significance. Just brainstorming.
Along those lines, it appears the shrine is behind a gate, so that may have confused someone
Did you upgrade this? You may not want to use an upgrade on it so that only local people review it. I am not familiar with shrines like this, and to me it looked like a temporary display, especially with what looks like bottles with straws on the table. I can't imagine being able to leave all of that out in the weather in my area. I agree it would be interesting for a Wayspot.
In your supporting information, don't talk about who walks by. Just say what it is, that it is permanent, and how reviewers can verify it exists where you pinned it. If there is a website from the hotel that has information about this shrine, you can put a link to that in your supporting information to help confirm for reviewers that it should be in game.
@ShadeDriveIn-PGO The hotel is what can be generic. The things at the hotel, that are acceptable though should not be looked at like they’re the hotel but instead as separate POI. They are not the hotel. The hotel placed those things there for the public that are visiting & looking to explore. A POI at a hotel actually gives a good reason for travelers to stay there who are playing. I know I would if I were traveling & ive seen many POI at hotels while traveling.
Also, if they denied it because it’s behind a gate that is also a bad reason. Especially if it is a public place. Just because it’s behind a gate doesn’t mean it isn’t public & accessible to at least certain people.
The way things are reviewed has been translated incorrectly by Niantic on accident to reviewers. It’s not your fault at all for not knowing this honestly. They need to do a better job explaining things like this though to those who are intending on submitting & reviewing. Wayfinders should have to know these things but first they need to have access to this kind of info
I agree on one thing for sure, it’s should have been accepted if it’s not at a residence. It is very unique & interesting looking for sure.
