Thanks! Always all locally owned vendors that take up those spaces. Don’t always last long, but I figured the area alone as a whole will always be there, so I nominated that instead of one specific shop. Got a pic right before the mall closed so no people would be in the background.

I found something similar here 51.962005,7.612761 and here 52.082442,7.301667.

For the second set of coordinates, there are two wayspots called Bibelvers in the same Level 17 S2 Cell and it appears one of them should already be in Pokémon Go.

There are several Wayspots of the same name in that area. Some appear in Pokemon Go, but neither of the two in that Level 17 cell.

My last few nominations are not converting to pokestops but to power spots. I’ve stopped nominating because I don’t want good pokestop candidates going power spots.

Welcome to the forum @colemangis! I keep this ready to copy and paste for people unhappy about their nominations not becoming Pokestops:

I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the Lightship database, which can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. This is a good article about S2 cells and PoGo: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

I honestly think it is great that some of the things that were not eligible to be Pokestops anyway are now being used in another way in the game. I hope you keep submitting good Wayspots!

I can tell everyone here why this bug occurs:

First define 『Hide and Seek Pokestop』and 『Old Pokestop』

“Hide and Seek Pokestop”: Pokestops which sometimes disappears and sometimes appears after moving/crossing the L17 grid

“Old Pokestop”: Pokestops that has always existed years ago, and will always be there.

When the “Hide and Seek Pokestop” and the “Old Pokestop” are in the same grid, if you remove “Old Pokestop” in the grid by any means, This BUGWILL HAPPEN.

Of course, I think experts should know how to handle this :kissing_heart:
