Hi NianticAaron,
thank you for your quick reply. However, I must disagree with you on several occasions. I’ll provide you with more information here:
- Keltakankaan liikuntahalli, Keltakankaan leikkipaikka and Keltakankaan jalkapallokenttä are not located on a school property. Liikuntahalli (“sports hall” in English) is a city-owned venue with multiple possibilities for doing sports, and attached to it is a small football field and a playground which are also part of the venue. There’s also a basketball field (“Keltakankaan koripallokenttä”) in the same area, which also is a POI in the game but it has never been deleted unlike the other three.
More about Keltakankaan liikuntahalli can be found on the city’s website here (in Finnish only).
And yes, I agree that there is a school near the public city venue, but it only operates on the other side of the building. It does not own the whole property or the area surrounding the building. The area belonging to the school has a fence around it.

Maahisten valtakunta and Tonttu both do have safe pedestrian access. Maahisten valtakunta is a huge art mural stretching across the whole wall of an underground passageway. It allows pedestrians to safely cross the E75 road by going under it. Tonttu is painted on a pedestrian bridge right next to the road E75. They’re both accessible for pedestrians, cyclists, even people using a wheelchair. Unfortunately, the Google Maps car hasn’t driven through the underground passageway so I could provide you with a picture, but you can see the start and end points of this road on the map and in Google Streetview.

About spamming ineligible pokestops not being a good idea - I agree with you on this one, too. I however disagree on the ones I’ve listed in my first message being ineligible. If you (or anyone else reading this thread) has checked the previous conversation on the matter of POIs getting deleted in Rovaniemi, my post is more of a cry for help towards Niantic to investigate on the matter again. We, the local player community, strongly feel that we’re being bullied in-game again and that this isn’t acceptable behavior but deliberately targeting certain players. If we’re not vocal about it and Niantic does nothing about the situation, we unfortunately do not have many other options than to resubmit POIs after they get removed.
