Please provide:
My nomination was denied by the automated process… But I didn’t get a reason so I don’t know how to improve the nomination.
Wow. I can usually spot a potential reason in the framing of the photo, but this one surprises me. Possibly it detected the hazard cone and truck and came to the conclusion that this was not a safe spot. I would try taking the main photo from the other side facing away from the road.
This is hard to see on satellite, and there is no Street View here. Also, it’s hard to tell if this is at a single family PRP or multi family, such as a duplex or apartment building.
I think more info needs to be provided that this meets criteria, as ML most likely didn’t think it did by the lack of info provided. Keep in mind that the burden of proof is always on the submitter, so the more info you can provide, the better.
I don’t think that it would have marked it as a duplicate of this one, and I think it would have said “duplicate” instead of “not accepted” if it had.
Assuming I have found the right spot, I did want to point out to you that this would not be eligible to be a pokestop or gym if accepted since it it in the same L17 cell as this other Wayspot. But I would still encourage you to resubmit it. It could potentially be used as a Power Spot, and who knows what else they may come up with in the future.

Great notes. Should I appeal the original nomination or make a new one?
You only get 2 appeals every 20 days, so if you do have appeals available you can do so. However, there are areas that the nomination can be improved upon, such as noting this is at an apartment complex in your supporting info, possibly taking new photos without that one vehicle in the photos, providing the name of the complex in the title or description, just a few suggestions.
You should try resubmitting. If u fail after a few attempt, then u can appeal. Sometimes its hard to get pass AI.
Like the others said, I always try a new submission before appealing since you only have 2 appeals, each on a 20 day counter before you can use them again. Plus depending on your goals, this one that cannot be a Pokestop or gym may be lower priority for you.
