As I wrote, it's still on the drop-down but not listed anywhere on the criteria pages. Casey specifically said natural features are allowed (with an anchor) after the criteria refresh. Are you really surprised Niantic changed the criteria without updating their menus?
-
Because nominating every hole (or tee) on a single golf course is equivalent to nominating both goals on a single soccer field or all the bases on a baseball diamond. Furthermore, they might interfere with the field of play.
-
What is your rating currently? Also, the upgrades come when you get agreements, not when you review the submissions. It can take days or even weeks for each submission to reach an agreement. You will get an upgrade when 100 reviews get an agreement.
-
I will say I don't understand the distinction between Niantic removing those 18 wayspots, but declining to remove any from the Summit Bechtel Reserve. I don't know anything about Boy Scouts or the different types of facilities they have. Hopefully someone who does can explain the difference.

Here's a post from Giffard removing 18 wayspots located at a boy scout camp

It's very clear that Natural Features aren't mentioned at all in the current criteria.
-
Parks are far more likely acceptable waypoints than benches are. Natural feature is no longer a rejection criteria. Yes, it is still in the drop-down list when reviewing, but read the rejection criteria page.
-
The first rejection reason "Other Rejection Criteria" is the important reason in this case. There are often random rejection reasons that don't make sense. You should ignore those. "Other Rejection Reason" mean that reviewers don't think it is a "great place to explore/exercise/socialize". You need to use your supporting…

From what I've seen of the people commenting, none of them live in Sweden so they likely don't care if you reject all the nominations you review or not. They're providing information to help you try to get your submissions accepted, not because they're afraid you'll reject their stops. I can't say how you should live your…
-
I don't think anyone disagreed with using the bench photo for the submission. They were just saying to submit the park, call it a park, describe the park, use a photo of the bench. In your supporting info you can note that you're using the bench as an anchor because there's no sign, and give the link to the land survey…

I think @Aeryle88-PGO has the right idea. "Trail markers" have such a wide variety of opinions that the best route is to submit one or two and see what your local community thinks. You can't predict the result from answers on this forum. Also, don't use an upgrade so you can see just your local area's opinion.
-
That picture is much better, but the best would be a picture of just one of the goals. 2nd best would both goals entirely in the picture. I will add I would have accepted with even the first picture because I think Niantic only wants us to reject when you can't identify the object easily ftom the picture. Poor quality…
-
1* is for "cannot be found", which is a bit different than "don't think it's there".
-
I was wrestling with this myself after you asked, and I like @Gendgi-PGO's answer. Reached by a path or a trail that can be taken by foot (pedestrians) without any special climbing gear or skill required. It may be too strenuous for some people, but it's not likely tempting anyone to make poor decisions with respect to…
-
Photo quality isn't about camera resolution, in this case. They mean your photos should be centered on the object, and the object should be fully in frame. Take your soccer goal photo so it looks like @The26thDoctor-PGO's examples.
-
While any restaurant might be "a place to be social", the criteria is "a *great* place to be social". Restaurants are more likely to stand out as a great place to explore, imho. Your example of the charcoal pit restaurant would be an interesting place to explore, for instance. Either way, as a submitter you would want to…
-
Looking at Streetview the real sign is probably "Strathdale Park aka Lions Park". Interestingly, there is also a sign in the area of "Strathdale Park - Crn Crook...", but it's clearly not that sign. It doesn't even say Lions Park. I wonder if something weird happened with reviewers marking Lions Park as a duplicate so its…
-
I think you'll find mixed opinions on those. If they were more permanent metal or plastic affixed to the poles, they would definitely be accepted (assuming the locations could be verified with Streetview or other means). With the stickers, you'll have more reviewers marking temporary or being suspicious that they are not…
-
It's one of those things. You have to choose between getting tired of your submissions being rejected or compromise on your personal preference, focus the picture on the trail markers and use a boring "X trail marker" title. You won't ever reach enough reviewers just posting on here or social media to get something like…
-
It's similar to how a park is eligible and things in the park are too. One thing to keep in mind is if the church is already a wayspot, the submissions might be accepted but not appear in any games because they're too close to the existing church wayspot.
-
Welcome/neighborhood signs aren't generally eligible, but I've seen a lot accepted in Florida. You will almost certainly never get them accepted with an upgrade. You need to keep it local to have a chance. (And do all the stuff @Elijustrying-ING mentioned.)
-
Better to check the actual criteria page @MargariteDVille-ING https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/criteria/rejection
-
All I can tell you is that most of the time the in-game reports are rejected without examining any of the things you just listed. If you want someone to actually look at them, you have to appeal. If you think "that's so annoying" and have given up caring more about Niantic's database than they do, we're on the same page.…
-
If it's just the usual "more stops please", I don't count it against them. As @PkmnTrainerJ-ING said, there's nothing really telling the submitters not to. There have been cases of people writing things like "accept my stop or I'll reject everything I vote on!" Those I would reject as influencing/abuse. Some people will…
-
If you try resubmitting, just nominate one so you can leave out the parking and most of the background. It's unlikely to get through, though, unless the statues are rare in your country.
-
You could make a YouTube video and link in the supporting info. I'm not sure how many reviewers would get that far, but it would at least show it's water if they did. Personally, I think it's already clear it's water, unless the reviewers don't trust your title for some reason. In the photo you can see where it flows down…
-
I agree landscaping isn't a natural feature, but the debate is irrelevant for Wayfarer. Natural feature isn't a rejection reason under the current criteria, despite it not being removed from the drop-down list. They can still certainly be rejected under "other" if they don't meet eligibility criteria, of course, and in…
-
Other Rejection Criteria is the important rejection reason. It means reviewers don't think it's "a great place to explore, exercise, or socialize". You gave to convince them it is in the supporting info, if you can.
-
You don't *have* to do more work. You didn't *have* to submit the deletion report in the first place. Just telling you how to proceed if you want to get it removed.
-
They're at the same location, but not the same thing. It's like how you can have both a gaezbo and a playground next to each other in the same park. (And the park itself as well.)
