Apollo Fresco Removal Request

[cornelwest]

I respectfully request a second review of my removal report for Apollo Fresco.

This report concerns a work of art that no longer exists at the reported location. The evidence submitted with the report reflects the current state of the site rather than the historical presence of the artwork. Additionally, an employee at the Olive Garden confirmed that the fresco is not present there after many renovations.

The purpose of Wayspot removals is to maintain an accurate database of real-world points of interest. If the artwork no longer exists, the Wayspot no longer represents a valid real-world object regardless of its previous eligibility.

I understand that removal requests are reviewed carefully, but I believe this case merits reconsideration because the report is based on the permanent absence of the artwork, not a temporary access issue or change in appearance.

Thank you for taking another look at the evidence already provided.

In order to get a second look at this appeal, it would help if you included some evidence in this post.

Admittedly this is hard because the wayspot photo is close-up with no context, so the best way of visually confirming it has gone would be if Niantic still had the supporting photo (and it showed the context), but this may not be the case. A picture of a wall would not be proof.

A statement from Olive Garden themselves would help, especially if Niantic could validate it as having come from Olive Garden.

Thanks for the appeal, @cornelwest. Due to insufficient evidence, we’re unable to remove the Wayspot in question. If you have additional evidence to share, like geotagged images or articles, please write back to us or submit a new appeal with the additional information, and we’ll take another look.
