How to get my pokestop approve?
Thank you for reaching out. Everyone wants to have their wayspot accepted.
However, please keep in mind that giving details about how to vote on specific nominations can be seen as influencing reviewers, which is against the rules.
What we can do is take a look at your nomination to tell you how to improve it.

Welcome to the forum @angellver but this is not what this topic is for. Review Support is to ask questions about how to review. We have no way to search through and find a specific nomination.

How do people approve the pokestop or how dose it work ?
Your nomination will go into review. You can check on its status on your contributions page at Niantic Wayfarer. If Niantic’s ML (machine learning ai) model is going to accept or reject it, it usually does around 20-24 hours. If the ai does not decide the nomination, it can either go to in-house Niantic review, or be left for community review. We do not know how many votes it takes for a decision, and the time it takes can vary wildly.
I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the Lightship database, which can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. This is a good article about S2 cells and PoGo: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/
If your nomination takes too long for your liking to be decided, you can do reviews to earn an upgrade for it. This will send it to a wider review pool. It does not guarantee that it will be accepted.
Hello @angellver
Making a nomination for a place you want to be a pokestop is actually a lot more complex than you might think.
@cyndiepooh has given an idea of what is happening to it now.
Please do say if you don’t feel comfortable about giving details of your nomination especially if you feel it might reveal too much about where you live. This is a global forum.
There are guidelines about what can and what can’t be considered to be a wayspot and therefore a pokestop. This means that not everything submitted will be found acceptable, and not everything will appear in Pokemon Go.
We will be happy to help you to try and get success.

How do I get it approved it got rejected
Please post a screenshot of the title, description, photo, location, and supplemental info and photo so we can help you determine if this needs to be appealed or edited and resubmitted.
Pilot gas stations are a national chain gas station/convenience store. Wayspots need to be a great place to explore, to exercise, or to socialize. Have you had a chance to review this:
