Oh, so you've tried uploading an actual photo before and got rejected? this happened 2 or 3 times to me as well, when trying to update the portal after a church got their structure changed after couple of years.
Oh well, its almost clear this is an abuse, the picture is 100% a fake one, it should not be that hard to see, c'mon Niantic...

Hi, @NianticKN-ING . Do you have any feedback on this thread? Maybe I should try adding an additional photo again. (A friend of mine tried to add a photo the last time.)

One of the workarounds (that is completely unnecessary) is to submit a new nomination at the exact spot, with the exact name and help get reviewers to make the new nomination as a duplicate of the existing wayspot. The photo if successfully duplicated then ends up being added to the wayspot, so you can upvote it and that helps solve half the problem.
Once this "Ingress: Origins" photo no longer shows as the cover photo, you can safely request the photo remove appeal. The advice is taken from the "Why was my portal rejected?" category in the Portal submission FAQ.
Absolutely hate to have to use a portal submission slot to circumvent this considering Niantic's inaction and terrible decision-making to reject the actual storefront, but that's who we're dealing with.

@MinusFive-ING Sono d'accordo ,non puo essere un portale spero che te la levino
Hey man, just trying to understand your post, what is the actual photo of the portal?
This could help us see that this is clearly an abuse. I did search for the coordinates and checked the Street View and saw this, is this the case? :)
Just trying to help.
@ddm027-ING That’s the concern. There's isn't an actual portal photo. Something like this photo you shared of the storefront seems more appropriate than the cover of an Ingress Graphic Novel.
You mean the portal only has 1 photo and it's that one of Ingress: Origins? If so, you can just upload a picture and change giving thumbs up. Did you try that already?
If players abuse and vote up on the fake photo, report it here and it could be deleted somehow, but I don't think they will, there's only 1 thumbs up in the picture.
Hope this works! 🤗
Yes and yes
Perhaps there will be a higher chance of an actual photo of the portal being approved after they remove the abusive photo.

Agreed. Thanks for your input, @ddm027-ING

@ddm027-ING Submitting a photo of the store front didn’t help.

@HaramDingo-ING That is an interesting strategy. I’ll think about it. Thank you.
@HaramDingo-ING They accepted the appeal on the photo addition so it looks like I don’t have to burn a nomination slot. Thanks again for the feedback. Now I’m still wondering what the status of this open appeal is.
Awesome @MinusFive-ING. Knowing how the current climate of the appeal system is going, it probably going to be weeks down the line since Wayfarer isn't really Niantic's priority.
Pour moi c'est tout simplement un commerce générique!
Légitime 🤔? Sponsorisés ?
Publicité gratuite pour le commerce 👍
Dans plusieurs pays ce Wayspot serait supprimé !!!
