Appeal removed Wayspot

Please restore removed Wayspot. The wayspot meets the criteria and was in the game for months without issue.

  • Wayspot Title: Burgundy Playground
  • Location (lat/lon): I do not have the specific coordinates, but it was around 45.01035° N, 93.39968° W
  • City: New Hope
  • Country: United States

Here is the link to the Portal.

It looks like the pin may have been moved off the actual location or was misplaced to begin with:

excatly -it was in fact moved onto the actual location of the playground and therefore doesn’t meet the inclusion rules of Pokemon GO anymore; this Wayspot was not removed from the database, only excluded from 1 game

Wow. Making the game less playable for the player base. Great work team

Niantic has a lot of games, not just one. This was probably a player submitted edit. A lot of folks find every game more fun when the game locations are actually at the real world site.
Only these two L17 S2 cells are occupied. See if you can find something in the others to submit:

Edited to note that there could be a Wayspot that I am not seeing on this map of portals if it is within the 20m black circle on this map. You can use the toggle in the pogo nomination map to check for existing Wayspots that you can’t see in Pokemon Go. Like this

Edited again to note that Ingress updates later in the day than Pokemon Go, so this screenshot is probably still showing the portal at the old location.

Thanks for the appeal, @theimighty. We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire the Wayspot.

I’m not sure where to start with this one - it’s just flat-out incorrect and unclear why this is the response that got copy/pasted for this thread.
