Art Gallery Moment Art not appearing in pokemon go

On october 31, I nominated the stop art gallery moment art in the city Sint-Truiden. It should have enough space in between c2 cells. Originally, the nomination was rejected for some reason but approved after an appeal. However it is not appearing in pokemon go. Can someone check and activate the stop there?

Or who should i contact for this? Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forums,

If you feel comfortable sharing the coordinates of the nomination, someone here could have a look. If not, the staff do monitor the forums and hopefully one of them can look into it for you

Hello @NickMenten2 ,

Thank you for submitting a Wayspot nomination! While some nominations may be deemed eligible by the community of reviewers on Niantic Wayfarer for inclusion into Niantic’s location database, they may not necessarily be added into every Niantic game. After a nomination is approved by reviewers, there is an additional automated review that determines whether the nomination is an appropriate fit for each particular Niantic game. Each game has their own set of criteria for this step, so some nominations may be accepted into one game but not another.

The most common reason that an eligible nomination is not added to Pokémon GO is because the nomination is too close to existing PokéStops or Gyms. If an existing game location is removed or the criteria changes, the nomination may appear within Pokémon GO at a later time.

Please keep in mind that while this is a common reason, it is not the only one.

Best,

The appeals team could have moved the nomination if they thought your pin was incorrect. They can consider it abuse if they think you have tried to manipulate the S2 cells, or they can just make what they consider to be a correction. Have you checked in the nomination map screen to see where it went live? Or would you like to share the gps coordinates where you submitted it so we can check that for you?

Hello, as far as I can tell I put the nomination on the correct location. But here are the coordinates to be certain:

50.817231, 5.185543

It was not moved, but it does share an L17 S2 cell with two other wayspots

One of these should be a Pokestop or gym

Thanks for explaining everyone. Too bad the gym didn’t activate it’s the main reason why I was nominating stops there haha. But thanks again it’s clear now

Hello @NickMenten2
From what I can tell that S2 Level 14 cell is already at maximum natural capacity for gyms.
Gyms are triggered at 2, 6 and 20 level 17 cells that are used and that count has already passed 20.
So if another Gym is your goal then look elsewhere.

There are only 2 actual gyms in that vicinity, the others are farther away and shouldn’t be near any of those cells, as far as I could tell. So that’s why I figured at least one of the above mentioned stops should have become a gym, but apparently not

It’s not about being the vicinity but within this bigger box. I haven’t shown everything in the box but there be a 3rd gym anywhere in that box ( that would include sponsored gyms)

Do read this article which although a bit technical explains cells.

understanding cells it will lead to less frustration.

Good luck

Checking Campfire the following are the 3 Gyms for the L14 Cell.

Minderbroederskerk - 50.814277, 5.185850
Ceremonieel Stadhuis - 50.815472, 5.185954
Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk - 50.815482, 5.187005

They all seem to be in the bottom rleft corner of the cell so depending on how you play is either a good or bad thing :frowning: :slight_smile:

Indeed those are gyms, but that was before i realized the cell thing was that large. I was only considering the vicinity of my stop and not the big picture. But indeed if you take into count the entire cell, there’s more gyms in the city than I previously mentioned
