Reviewers need an option to report invalid portals that appear in "mark as duplicate"
In this example there are two portals with watermarks (For example).
But there is a lot of graffiti in schools, tiles in private residences ... etc.

Seriously, getting out of your way to report watermarks on existing stops? (and no, downvoting me won’t make me less right).
What will you know about the life that I have?
Those photos with watermarks have been accepted recently, so there has been a bad act.
Perhaps you belong to a group that accepts this type of photos despite being prohibited and therefore protests.
It is most likely
There's been this similar post recently: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/18494/i-want-recommend-deletion-button
As I mentioned in the other post, I don't like the idea of reporting from afar, as I think it would be wildly misused, unfortunately.
Those are invalid photos, not invalid portals. Anyone can add a new photo and everything will be OK.
Actually, I’m a lizard man and a part of a lizard men group. We eat flies and approve photos with watermarks. That’s beside the point, the point is that watermark is not an acceptable reason for a removal of a stop. You may want to brush up on the rules before asking Niantic for more power. Cheers.
I wouldnt remove for watermark, what should be allowed though is an option to flag bad photos for review on the nearby si that niantic can review them and remove said photo (ive seen this done before with the portal still there but I believe it was matrix looking thing in its place).
But yes, if something is eligible for removal, like on a school, then by all means, there should he a report button for that
Correct. Maybe I should have said delete the photo.
But you are only keeping the watermark.
There are clearer cases ... such as schools, nurseries, private residential areas ...

This is a great idea and would be a good move towards efficiency within Wayfarer. I wish reviewers could also do with with edits and photo reviews. It feels like a waste of time when i review an edit on a neighborhood sign or a new picture on an aerator fountain.
I've asked for something like this for a long time. Sometimes, when you look at "nearby" portals on the review screen you find one that is clearly "wrong" for whatever reason - K-12 / clearly in the wrong place / ineligible etc. We need a second buton on these in addition to "Duplicate" saying "Report" - click on that and the details should automatically be filled in on the form leaving a space for text / reasons why you are reporting that particular POI.
