I made a post to where my Pokestops are at and I’m told that one of them should be a stop

Yes this is the one


These were spins at one point

Can these get back in the game?

Hey @AndyDubi2018 ,

Thanks for your feedback. We’re constantly making improvements to Pokémon GO and occasionally, you may notice changes to the PokéStops or Gyms in your community. While we are not able to fulfill your request to add back these locations at this time, we recognize the disappointment this may have caused and hope you continue to seek out adventures at other PokéStops and Gyms in your surrounding communities.

Thanks,

Is there a reason why to where it can’t be re added to the game? What about the Community Pool one? Or the Community room that got submitted here

The submission was placed in the wrong spot. The arrow is where the stop should be and not where the orange spot is

I understand you are concerned that some of your Wayspots do not show as PokéStops or Gyms in Pokémon GO. We apologize for any disappointment this may cause, however, not all Wayspots become PokéStops or Gyms.

After a nomination is approved by reviewers, there is an additional automated review that determines whether the nomination is an appropriate fit for each particular Niantic game. Each game has their own set of criteria for this step, so some nominations may be accepted into one game but not another.

The most common reason that an eligible nomination is not added to Pokémon GO is because the nomination is too close to existing PokéStops or Gyms. If an existing game location is removed or the criteria changes, the nomination may appear within Pokémon GO at a later time.

I’m still not understanding because both of them was spins at one point. Is there away to get at least one of them back? What about the power up spot can’t that be a spin or a gym? I’ve seen others spins right next to each other or even on top of them

How long was your location edit ago?

Like 6 or 7 months ago

One of them was 6 months and the other was 7 months ago

I know that you are not able to reveal a lot of inside information, but can you tell us which Pokestop they are too close to?

They had said they have been getting postcards from these removed Pokestops for a couple of months

Plymouth Square Volleyball court and Pickleball court

I’ve seen a lot of Pokestops and gyms close to each other enough is basically on top of each other so I don’t get why these spins can’t be in

Do you have really no wayspots to the right side of your nomination screen? The view doesn’t work remotely you have to be right at that location

This happens in two circumstances.

  1. The pokestops are both/all close to the edges of their cells, or even to the corners of their cells. Each level17 S2 cell can only have one pokestop, but it is possible to have four pokestops close together at the corners where four cells meet.

  2. Years ago, wayspots could be moved and the pokestop inclusion rule was not recalculated. This way, lots of wayspots could be added to appear as pokestops in the wrong location (because people didn’t check) and then moved into close proximity. For example, statues in a public square.

As you can see here where the orange spot is that’s not the right spot for that spin. The white arrow where you place the submission that’s where it should be. At the time it was submitted my finger accidentally placed it in the wrong spot and not realizing it was placed there until after the fact

To me this seems like a case where one of your shake ups is needed. Or is there something else not immediately apparent going on?

I just don’t under why at least one of them can be placed back

Ingress Map:

Bottom left: Plymouth Square Community Pool

Lower right: Plymouth Pickleball Court

Can you show the image from Pokemon Go submission map and indicate where these four features are, all of which will exist on this map unless they have been explicitly removed. Two of these were pokestops/gyms; the other 2 will almost certainly have been used as powerspots.
