Lately i’ve been more active in reviewing waypoints in the Niantic Wayfarer. Thereby noticing waypoint submissions as close as within a meter from an other waypoint. Should there be a minimum distance between waypoints? Like in geocaching.
There is different rules how wayspots appears in different games, e.g. in Ingress you have a 20m distance rule applying whilst in Pokémon Go the only rule is one wayspot per cell which outrules the distance.

Hi @firechief75
Welcome to the forum 
Every accepted wayspot nomination will be added to Niantics Lightship database.
There’re no distance rules.
Than each Niantic game decides (via inclusion rules, with distances like @yido explained) which wayspot they’ll take from that database.
For your reviewing this means, that you don’t have to look for “being to near”.

Thanks for the explanation

Even the 20m rule is sometimes ignored in Ingress:
These two are 7m apart.
Granted, they are legacy (they predate Niantic’s spin-off from Google). But they have both been moved in the last 6 months, without distance issues being triggered.
