You need to report in it game, and then have that report denied, before you can appeal that denied removal here. That said, however. Not meeting the eligibility criteria is not one of the removal criteria. Thus while this shouldn't have been approved, it will also not be removed. (As long as the object actually exists at…
-
If it still appears in Ingress or Bloom then it is still a Wayspot in the Lightship database. Since it hasn't been removed from that you can't appeal it's removal here. The Wayfarer team is not in charge of if Go team chooses to use any given Wayspot or not. You cannot appeal that decision here.
-
So according to Nia's rules, the portal must be accessible and visible to everyone. Being publicly accessible isn't a rule. Wayspots can be in places like gated communities, pay-gated areas, or areas only accessible to employees of a certain company. What is a rule is that they can't be on private residential property. So…
-
The ability to interact with the in game object from outside the property is irrelevant. The only thing the matters if is whether or not the property is a single family residence. If yes, then every Wayspot on the property must be removed.
-
My guess is because it is on private residential property. If this isn't the case then you'll want to provide evidence that the building behind it is not a single family residence.
-
If those were accepted, is it generally safe to just accept the nomination? No. The criteria change over time and things get incorrectly accepted every day. This something currently being Wayspot in no way means that others like it should be accepted.
-
Niantic doesn't really do communication period. It's always been that way to various extents. Right now their staff cuts might mean there isn't even anyone available to.
-
It looks like the historic marker is in an open cell (which you probably already knew) but you do have to be careful about where you place it. Oh he knows. Or at least whoever submitted the existing church Wayspot knows, since they seem to have deliberately miss placed it to make room for sign. Back on topic, there is some…
-
At what location did you last play Ingress?
-
The title of the Wayspot is "Collins Park" not "Collins Park Sign", this suggests that the park itself is the subject, not the sign specifically. Your photos appear to indicate that the park has not been removed.
-
This appears to have questionable pedestrian access, being on the side of a road with no obvious pedestrian lane. Also can you confirm what the property behind the post is? (The photos look like it might be a single family residence.)
-
Do you have any evidence that the property line is where you claim it to be? The walkway being there is not evidence, there's nothing stopping the walkway from going thru the school property rather than around .it.
-
Public access is not one of the criteria. Pedestrian access is, but that is an entirely different thing. That is primarily concerned with the ability to safely stand around at the location. (i.e. it can't be in a pond or the middle of the street)
-
Never judge what is acceptable based on what is already in the database. The criteria have changed over time, and things get approved by reviewers who either don't know or are deliberately ignoring the criteria. Since the removal criteria are different than the acceptance criteria there are many things that don't meet the…
-
Welcome signs are not eligible either. A fountain may be eligible as under the exploration criteria, depending on just what sort of fountain it is.
-
The park itself may or may not already be a Wayspot. OP's complaint however is that he feels like it should have many Wayspots. (Presumably so that one could stay in the park and play one of the games there for an extended time, rather than just drive up capture the portal/spin the stop and drive on to the next one.) If…

There is a randomized time delay between when something is submitted and when it becomes able to go into voting. Upgrades cannot skip this delay. Unless submissions normally get review real fast in your area, the upgraded one is still likely to reach a decision first.
-
When you submit something there is a randomized time delay placed on it before it can enter voting. Upgrades cannot skip this delay. I do not know the possible range of this delay.
-
It's best to post some of your submissions in the "Nomination Improvement" sub-forum to get feedback from other users.
-
Libraries meet the eligibility criteria. Meeting the eligibility criteria is only 1/3 of the puzzle when it comes to deciding if something should be accepted or not. To be acceptable a submission must do all three of the following: Meet at least one of the eligibility criteria. Meet all of the acceptance criteria. Meet…

Appeal your declined removal request here: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/categories/removal-appeals Be sure to fill out the template completely and include geotagged photos of the site showing the object has been removed.

AR isn't just then thing where you replace the background with a feed from your camera. In fact the whole "move in the real world to move in game" thing that all of Niantic's games have as a core mechanic is also a form of AR. Having in game object based on real world object (the entire point of Wayspots), also AR.…

If you play in Switzerland having to review submissions from France (and Germany, Austria, Italy, and Liechtenstein) is a normal and unavoidable part of the system. You shouldn't be getting them from Kazakhstan though unless you have set your home or bonus location there or if it's the most recent place you played Ingress.
-
It's a generic mass produced sign. Simply being old does not make it historic. What eligibility criteria do you think it meets? A "historic plaque" is a display that has information about history. That is not what this is.
-
It simply isn't eligible.
-
Game stores are potentially eligible, but not automatically so. Without seeing your full submission I cannot tell if you successfully demonstrated why this specific location is eligible.
-
Can you show us the full submission (especially the coordinates)?
-
They are not automatically eligible. In theory some of them could be eligible (most likely via being a registered historic building) but it would be up to the submitter to clearly demonstrate why a specific one is eligible in the submission. If they fail to do so then -> 1* "other rejection criteria".
-
The end solution is to release the Wayfarer app and then remove the submission feature from Go & Ingress so people have to submit via the Wayfarer app.
