Duration for nomination review

Need to know ,How long does it take for a ninatic staff to review ?
3days, a week? How long? My nomination is still "under review "

Hello and welcome @gojover88888888

I’m sorry to say but there is no simple answer. It could be a few days it could take a week or two.
You just have to wait.

It varies. It usually is only a few days for me, but this is the weekend, so may take longer. I haven’t heard of it taking longer that a couple of weeks in a long time.

So,2 weeks the max? I hope it turns put to be a stop or gym soon!

No. I said that I have not heard of one taking longer than two weeks, not that it is guraranteed to be decided in two weeks.

Also, there is a second condition for an accepted Wayspot to become a Pokestop or gym. They use S2 cells to determine if it can go live in Pokemon Go. This is a good article about the S2 cells: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

Well i nominated the stops by rough s2 cell seperation through lvl 17 ,the existing stop is on another cell and my current nomination is on different cell,so im expecting it to be a stop or gym,well i have a gym at the very end of lvl 14 idk if it’s outside the cell or not, will that cuz a problem for my nominations to be a gym?

Well does a gym gets count in 6-19 stops criteria for a second gym?

gyms are created at 2, 6, and 20 total pokestops and gyms in an L14 cell. three is the most we can create with wayfarer, although niantic can add more gyms than that with sponsored gyms. a sponsored gym will count as one of the three gyms if there aren’t already three.

I would wait. Sometimes it will take longer. Sometimes the machine is quick. It may skip the automated system for human eyes.

Good luck and happy wayfaring

Thank u for the answers, i hope the ai or the person don’t take too long,one more doubt.does it taking too long here means that i could see a new pokestop very soon after it gets accepted and is it a good nomination as per ur view with wayfarer criteria?

Hello @gojover88888888 The system has a number of variables including several ways a nomination can be reviewed.

In the past a review could take a while as it depends on the queue of other nominations needing review. And what part of the world/nation you are in. So some areas with less local reviewers could take longer.

AI (AKA as Emily) has vastly sped up the process. And periodic Review Challenges also reduce the backlog.

Also I cannot comment on how quickly they appear. As that process has its own set of rules post acceptance. Basically how many in a given area. So if the area you are in is chockers with existing POIs/Waypoints and one visible waypoint - then not going to appear as a stop. If in an area of no POS/Waypoints and the nomination is accepted then it will appear fairly quickly.

This my simple explanation. Imagine the world covered in interconnect blocks. A block can have many waypoints. But only one waypoint is visible in PGO as a stop. Because a waypoint can be anywhere within that block you can get stops regularly spaced out or clustered as they happen to appear in a corner connecting to other blocks that also have visible waypoints in their corner

But only one visible waypoint is in its given block. I stress the above is my very simple explanation. There are webposts and more detailed forum posts on the subject. I leave that to the experts :slight_smile:

Again good luck and I hope you don’t have to wait too long - if your waypoint meets criteria and passes.

We already discussed what ā€œUnder Reviewā€ means.

The ML (machine learning) model acts immediately. If you are seeing it in ā€œUnder Reviewā€ status, it has been sent for human review.

Hi @gojover88888888
I’ve merged your two topics about the same question together.
The label ā€œunder Niantic reviewā€ means that the team is looking at it - real humans. You’ve to wait a bit longer.

Well if it’s okay to say,
It’s the southern side of india .
There’s no other waypoints , as per my enquiry . There’s just one Temple standing as pokestop.and 5m ahead there’s another stop.
Well there was players once at here till i returned to play i don’t see any, and theres two gym 5m away ,well can we nominate a bus stop or point?

Does this oldest pokestop turn out to be gym ?or it can be any other new stops i would make? Im assuming that ur a niantic staff? Or maybe just a wayfarer user?

staff are clearly identified in their profiles here. i am not even an ambassdor. just a regular here who is familar with wayfarer.

if everything else is equivalent, the one that becomes a gym is random. it can be the oldest, the newest, or any inbetween. a showcase pokestop will not become a gym.
