Appeal Removal of a gym

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: Metal Orange Sculpture
  • Location (lat/lon) 34.086360,-117.890898
  • City: Covina
  • Country: United States
    I believe this Wayspot/Gym was wrongfully removed. I would like it reinstated. Pictures below still show that its physically there

Welcome to the forum!

Niantic will have either had a property owner request to remove it, or evidence that it should be removed. You could present evidence that it still exists and meets criteria with this request, but even if it were to be reinstated, it will most likely not be eligible to reappear as a gym. Since Red Devil Pizza is in the same L17 S2 cell, that should either be a gym or pokestop now, with a new gym popping up somewhere in the larger L14 S2 cell if the threshold is still met.

(For more about S2 cells and Pokemon Go, see https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/. Niantic does not officially talk about these, but we have been allowed to explain about them on the forum.)

Assuming the following is the object in question…

A: What are the rules regarding the Red kerb stones?

B: What is its use and how does it fit criteria (Exercise, Socialise, Explore)?

C: The Co-ords above do not match the said location by 13 metres?

Hello, @andiieee! After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to restore and move the Wayspot to the correct location.

Hello,

Could I just make sure you noted the “Red Kerb” which is shared with the fire hydrant?
