Gated communities are allowed and Niantic clearly say so in their guidance when reviewing: These locations are appropriate: Any location that is accessible publicly to pedestrians, both indoors and outdoors, is appropriate, including the following locations: Restricted - locations that restrict access to a subset of people…
-
Wayspots on private campsites are perfectly valid wayspots, but obviously you shouldn't access the campsite if you don't have permission to do so.
-
Regardless of whose photos they are, nomination appeals are not accepted on this forum.
-
Road signs aren't generally considered eligible because they're not a great place to explore, socialise or exercise, and a warning sign telling people to beware of children situated on a road without a sidewalk/pavement is particularly problematic. Even if it wasn't home made I don't think this would stand a chance passing…
-
The featured wayspots are completely automated and it's not unusual to see completely ineligible nominations selected.
-
That doesn't matter - anything on or attached to a single family private residence is ineligible regardless of whether you can reach it from the sidewalk.
-
It looks like it's on the garden wall of a private residence.
-
Is it not a garden of a private residence?
-
A name alone wouldn't cause problems under GDPR
-
I'd resubmit using that photo. No promises, but I think it's likely to get accepted.
-
My last two August nominations finally got rejected - a walk along pavements (sidewalks) an through a park connecting three churches was rejected for residential and a circular footpath walk over fields for being unsafe. I'm basically done with this routes nonsense for the time being.
-
Can you share the full description and supporting text? They are eligible, but can require a bit of work - you need to clearly explain what makes the place special and a cut above the average coffee shop.
-
If the monument is on school premises it would be invalid, if it's just next to the school it wouldn't be. Photo's might help.
-
If it's on the wall of a single family private residence then under Niantic's rules it would be invalid.
-
I'm not familiar with Japanese law, but it would strike me as odd that taking a photograph of a public sign would be seen as problematic.

Another more recent thread: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/51324/submitting-trail-marker-nominations#latest
-
They've published clarification, but no one seems to read it: These are fine, just name them well to clearly identify.
-
Trail signs generally are mass produced, but that doesn't affect their validity.
-
1 - I can't see any problem with a list of names that are already in the public domain. 2 - Providing they are accurately placed I don't see any issues.
-
Why not access it from the top? There is no need to access from the main road that I can see. I struggle to believe that the planners would put a trail marker on a path that cannot be safely accessed.
-
There might be inconsistency in how people vote, because not everyone follows the rules, but I don't see any inconsistency in the rules . The rules haven't changed in years either.
-
You can't rely on Google Maps - it doesn't show all businesses. There really is no way of proving this place is or isn't a motel other than taking photos on site.
-
The hotel itself may not be eligible but that doesn't mean objects in a hotel are ineligible.
-
Without geotagged photos it's impossible to tell what the building is. I've never seen anything suggesting Motels are ineligible.
-
Please refrain from factional comments on the forum. Geotagged photos are the best way of proving location. Google maps does not list all businesses and is open to manipulation.
-
Photo evidence will help
-
Look for a sign, jetty or maybe a viewpoint you can nominate instead - there really needs to be a physical object.
-
If it's not gone into voting I'd withdraw it. It's a natural feature with no defined wayspot.
-
Unless they're part of a memorial they're invalid as @SeaprincessHNB-PGO says. They're mass produced generic items too.

From the reviewing info: These locations are appropriate: Any location that is accessible publicly to pedestrians, both indoors and outdoors, is appropriate, including the following locations: Restricted - locations that restrict access to a subset of people (Gated community or members-only locations, military bases)
