Hello, I would like to understand why this POI has been rejected as it is a unique landmark in the territory. thanks
Please provide:
A screenshot of your nomination, including rejection reasons if it has already been rejected
Include the title: “Cassetta Postale Americana”
, description: “Cassetta postale americana, unica e diversa rispetto a tutto l’arredo urbano”
, both phot
os, and supplemental information
If you feel comfortable please share the location, as it is helpful (i.e. hidden duplicates), but you can mask it if you wish.
Location: 41°38’07.5"N 12°48’29.5"E
Unfortunately, I can’t see the nomination on Streetview as Google doesn’t have access to it. So anything I say is based on speculation or out of ignorance.
I would ask the following:
What is significant about the specific mailbox?
Is the mailbox on private property? (I ask this as Google Maps Streetview doesn’t go to where the pin is).
Did you include anything on your supporting information that shows this to be historically relevant to the area?
As mentioned before, anything I say is out of ignorance, but it’s just a mailbox (or something similar) to me.
What was the rejection reason? That will be on your contributions page.
Just looking at this, even if you could prove it meets criteria as a local landmark under the exploration criteria, it appears to be SFPRP:
Single-family private residential properties (SFPRP), farms, and K-12 (schools or facilities primarily focused for persons under 18 years of age) are ineligible. This includes the outer facing facade, fence of these locations, and property boundaries.
Objects in or upon apartment blocks, gated communities, or their shared spaces may be eligible assuming they otherwise meet criteria and are intended to be accessed by a community, even if not everyone. Communal spaces have the potential to be eli…
And even if that is not the case, I don’t see safe pedestrian access.

nono is in public street and accessible by everbody
You might find it hard to get this one approved sadly. Assuming it’s publicly accessible and doesn’t belong to anyone, I don’t know how I would vote favouribly for it.

To me that looks like a properties driveway, not a street.

thanks for the answer but no it is a municipal dirt road
No one expected the post about American mailboxes to be useful?
It covers, among other things, individual mailboxes like the one shown.
Mod note: please note that this is a satiric post. Moved it to the corresponding category.
As anyone in the UK will tell you, postboxes encourage socialization because in the olden days when people didn’t carry phones with them, sending a letter in the post might be the only way that you could reach someone who wasn’t near their home phone when you called. Worse, if you were even a single area code away, you’d end up paying long-distance fees for phone calls, which made sending postcards a comm…

Agreed. This looks strongly like a SFPRP mailbox, so I would reject it.
