Hi all, I submitted a nomination, it got rejected, so I appealed it. Then it got accepted on 12/23, but it has not been put in Pokémon Go yet. There are no stops in the cell I placed it in.
Welcome to the forum @ebellblack
The location can be moved in voting by either the community or Niantic if they believe your pin was incorrect. Would you like to share the title and the gps coordinates where you pinned it? We can try to figure out if it was moved.
Hello, thank you! The name of the stop is Planet Fitness Moorestown and the coordinates are 39.943827, -74.964490. Google Maps says it is located in the middle of the Moorestown Mall, but the coordinates are an accurate location. Thanks again!
It was approved at the coordinates 39.943606, -74.963538 and is in the same Level 17 S2 Cell as “Water Fountain”.
It’s also within 20 metres of the fountain, so it can’t appear in Ingress either.

I have had Niantic move a nomination they accepted to the Google Maps label, too. After looking at the map, I was going to guess that was the case even though I don’t have access to the Geo Spatial Browser to check.
If your location is correct, you can contact help chat Niantic Wayfarer with evidence of the correct coordinates, usually geo tagged photos, and ask them to do a location edit.
My example. I submitted it at the entrance where the photo was taken, and Niantic moved it to the Google label. It didn’t matter to me since it was still on the business, so I didn’t try to edit it.
I will add to this, the geotagged photos would be very important if this has actually been approved in the wrong location, as Planet Fitness have 5 photo spheres in this area which seem to validate that the wayspot is correctly placed, at least so far as being located within the gym itself.
The red pin is the wayspot, and all 5 photospheres you can see on the map are taken within Planet Fitness.
@cyndiepooh @hankwolfman thank you both SO MUCH! I will definitely get this fixed tomorrow.
We had a professional photographer who worked in this area just drop photospheres anywhere without worrying about accuracy, so I have dealt with this before. Good luck!
fwiw, the photospheres show windows and parking lot in this location that appears to be interior to the mall if you need to point out evidence that they are misplaced as well as providing your own geotagged photos.
