I keep getting rejected for my nominations, even though I know for sure that some should be accepted. I keep getting “ This submission was declined by Niantic’s automated process for not adhering to Wayfarer criteria”
Why does this happen???

The AI (eMiLy) does not see anything acceptable usually it’s due to the photo.
If you would like to take a screen grab of the nomination we can suggest improvements (or even state if we believe it’s a definite reject).
Good luck.
Hello and welcome @Meessieboy
We will be very happy to help you work out why this is happening and see if we can improve your situation.
I am going to move this to nomination support as that is the best place to discuss it.
If as suggested you can supply some examples tgat will help.

This gets automatically rejected, but I’ve seen the same construction get accepted at other locations..
My first thought on seeing that is the ML system doesn’t understand everything. I think that should at least get passed through to reviewers to give them a chance to evaluate, as it certainly isn’t an automatic rejection.
I can’t see anything significantly wrong with the title, description or main photo. I would prefer the title to be a little bit less generic, such as “Stone Pillars on xxxx Street”, but that wouldn’t be why this failed the ML system.
You could appeal or retry.
If you retry, change the photo. Never reuse the same main photo when ML made a rejection, as there is a strong chance the ML system will auto-reject even if the title and description are amended.
