Hello i am trying to make the pokestop request buy It gets rejected. I see so many benches that become pokestop, especially Red benches against violenze, why they dont accept It???
Also, this articcle proves the existance of the bench
Why they Say its not elegible???
Are you able to share screenshots/images of your nomination?
Some additional context about benches can be found here - Seating Benches - #2
It is also worth noting that just because you see something as a Wayspot/PokéStop, doesn’t mean everything else similar to it is eligible.
I am trying to upload pictures but i don’t understand why it doesnt upload
You need to wait until they finish uploading after selecting them. They’ll show in your post preview and you can then hit post/reply

Not being from the area, that looks like a very basic red bench to me. In my area we have similar benches that are green that don’t represent anything, they’re just a place to sit.
If it is significant, my suggestion is to include relevant links in your supporting information when you resubmit, as there should be some way to confirm the bench is a point of interest if it represents what you mention

I can see there are some articles
But I’m not sure how you determine that “this red bench is a point of interest to represent this cause”, versus “here’s a bench someone has painted red”
Seems to me that in the article OP linked about this bench, there was an informational sign attached, at least in the beginning. It’s a shame that wasn’t permanent
So, if i do Again the pokestop request, should I link the articcle where Is written that the Red bench Is outsider the Carabinieri station (carabinieri Is the italian Police) and It was placed outside their central department? Likes the link i posted before?
In Italy we have a lot of this Red benches, all posted for Remember ing day and sensibilization against the violenze, there are a lot of pokestop made from these benches… I don’t know why they keep rejecting it
They probably stole It… What can i do to make It acceptable?
You could ask the local government or the carabinieri (whoever was responsible for installing it) to install a more permanent plaque, which I think would make this project more impactful in general. With a plaque this would definitely get accepted. Did you link the article in the original submission or the appeal?
Ask any italian governament to do something Is very Dangerous… They’ll never do it
Well who was responsible for installing the bench? Surely they would care about it
The Carabinieri station did that, the “comando provinciale” installed It to celebrate the day where they Remember the victims of femminicide.
Btw i forgot tò link the articcle, maybe i can try that, if i submit a new one where should I post the link to the article? In the last Page where i can write more informations?
Yes but remember to take new photos or ML will automatically reject. You really need to emphasize that it’s not a regular bench
Any suggestioni on how emphatize that Is not a regular bench?
I do think your title is already good. Perhaps to the description add that it was installed Novenber 25th which is the day against violence against women and that it was added in collaboration with the Soroptimist International association. And to the supporting you can say that it’s interesting to explore and would help make its use more visible, linking the website. And then add that it’s not a regular bench
