I have submitted both those locations and both got rejected.
I then saw the guidelines and submitted the locations again and got rejected again even though I fillowed the guidelines thoroughly. I’m surprised because I have been reviewing spots that the AI accepted and some of them have no aafe pedestrian areas or are portraits in someones home.
I also got 2 other rejections for good locations.
the locations I posted are all accessible to the public. all are monumental places and are good to explore and all are fantastic spots with safe pedestrian areas. All are important to the community and not only would they make good pokestops but based on my experience on pokemon go ( had my account for 8 years now) one of those locations should even be a gym.
The royal golf club and country club

The majlis

I used other photos previously for another submission for the golf club :
This also got rejected
It’s such a shame because there literally isnt any pokestop nearby.
oh and sorry this is the correct google maps locatoon for the majlis

This is a slight misunderstanding of the process.
The automated system does not accept wayspots. It merely removes most of the garbage from the review pool (and also inevitably removes some submissions that should get through to human reviewers, such as these two).
It does not and cannot remove everything that is ineligible. Just because you see something in review does not mean it has been accepted by anything. People find ways to bypass the automated checks and slip things through to human reviewers that are blatantly ineligible. If you come across something that feels abusive, such as a portrait in someone’s home, don’t just reject it but report it as well.
These specific photos are a problem because they were taken through glass (the artefacts on them are clear) and there is no focus. The automated system cannot tell what it is seeing. For the golf course, a focussed photo would be best.
I understand that. But I posted this post because I feel frustrated. I submitted those locations twice and appealed both of them once. So I feel upset when all my submissions get rejected. Especially when I have put alot of effort in them. I also want to know why I got rejected.
Those were my first submissions. The other two are by a professional photographer and not through glass
You have to use your own photos.
Those are official photos of the place, if the photos Im taking are said they are unclear and the proffessional photos arent accepted, I dont know what to use.
I also did that to another submission of a mosque. clear photos. nothing other than the mosque and rhe pedestrian walkway. I just feel like all my submissions are being rejected
I feel defeated. We have no pokestops around us, yet perfectly good spots for nominations. But all my nominations have been rejected.
Those are photos from another submission that is still in que:
But I feel like I have lost faith
I appreciate that it might feel counterintuitive but photographs taken by someone else, even if a superior quality, are not permitted. You need to take the photo yourself as you are handing it over to Niantic to use.
I also get that this feels very frustrating as we seem to be repeatedly saying negative things. However what people are trying to do are get of problems that are standing between you and success.
The photograph and getting it right is a big part of getting a positive outcome.
They don’t need to be perfect but they do need to have the object being submitted dominating the photo.
I have done that but then I was told it doesnt show any pedestrian space. so Im really confused. either its too close up, or too far away 
I just want to have at least one pokestop in the area.
oh thank you so much. Im reaaaaly hoping it would get accepted as its one of the places alot of people in the community pass by when they walk, jog, take their dogs out and also when they go to the park and explore or to pray. so its such a great spot for the community
This is the information I wrote with it. please.let me know if there is anything zi should fix since it’s still in Que
Description
A beautiful and peaceful mosque serving the community in Bahrain. A central place of worship and community gathering for residents. Located in Riffa Views as well as those coming onto the estate. It is located in the lagoon area, adjacent to one of the most beautiful walking pathways and next to a few gorgeous lagoons.
and this is the extra information:
Area usually has people gathering there to hang out or passing by, walking or going to the mosque or taking kids to the park. This is a permanent place of worship with safe pedestrian access via paved walkways. Centrally located within the Lagoons community, it serves as an important cultural and religious landmark in the area.
I see that it is only Satellite view around there.
Is it easy to pick out this structure from satellite?
Can you provide the coordinates.
Is the status in queue or in voting?
There is a satellite view.
i sent a screenshot and also the coordinates
it says still in Que. I never got in voting..does in voting mean people are reviewing it ?
In Queue - has not yet reached reviewers
In Voting - has reached reviewers and is being reviewed
That’s good that people can see its location . 
At the in Queue status it is still waiting to be sent to reviewers.
It can be up to 7 days or so.
Whilst in queue you can edit the text.
Can you place it on hold. Simply press hold and it should change to held
There are some things I would like to check out.
Whilst on hold I would like to check where exactly you placed the location - co ordinates are in the confirmation email.
The minaret looks amazing and is a separate structure and can be a separate wayspot. I good photo of it would be helpful. It looks like there is a pedestrian walk way to the entry is that correct?
The green lines on this map are important.
By chance there is a green line that separates the minaret from the main mosque building if the mosque is located at the blue cross on the east of the line instead of one wayspot you will get two that could be pokestops.
If the location that you have done is not there then I would recommend withdrawing and starting again. To withdraw choose edit, scroll down the edit screen to withdraw.
