• The criteria for removal are not the same as the criteria for being added. If you think a portal should be removed, you need to cite which criteria for removal you are invoking. I think there was a recap of the removal criteria in the recent AMA.

• Is the house it is attached to a single family private residence? If so, then it doesn't qualify as a portal.

• Ok, I'm not trying to kink shame, but maybe one of your open tabs should have been 'how to crop a screenshot'.

• I used to do a lot of portal appeal research back when it was still on the Ingress community site. This is one of the most complete and well researched appeals I've seen. I think it is likely that your appeal got the portal removed. There can sometimes be a lag between the portal being removed and the 'your appeal has been…

• This checks out, but there are couple things you could add to make it easier to confirm: 1. An Intel link to the portal. I admit that for a minute I considered that maybe you had made the photoshop, posted it here and then not included an Intel link, hoping that we wouldn't check.

• I believe this should be reinstated but my hopes aren't high.

Photospheres have helped me get portals reinstated in the past. That pub actually looks fun.…

• You need to report the portal via the app. If your request for removal is denied, then you can appeal that decision here. Good luck.

• It is attached to the wall of a single family private residence. Even things that are attached to the public side of garden walls or garages are deemed by Niantic to be on private property. Sorry, I very much doubt this one will be reinstated.
