Hidden Gem - how to prove "local significant" without much info to work on?

I have a hidden gem, that the coffee shop is a great local hangout for worker and people in the street because it is in between two industrial zone, make it a great place to social and having break. However, due to the lack of google map detail(I tried to add one but i think they thought it is a duplicate of another non-existent coffee shop), the sign is not special looking, make it really really hard to prove it is a local gem, both community review and appeal.

  1. The nomination:



The supporting image show quite amount of people in the coffee shop and enjoy the day in the street, while having a good social interaction.

Description: Located in the industrial area of ​​Binh Chuan ward, this is a cafe where workers and laborers can enjoy and chat about coffee during sessions and days.

Supporting info: This cafe is quite special because it is the only cafe that appears in an industrial park, so this place gathers a lot of people, suitable for social interaction after stressful working sessions.

Appeal:

Appeal Notes: I would like to appeal this submission as this coffee shop is a well-known coffee shop among worker in the town. The existence of the coffee shop can be traced back in google map streetview 2017(Nhà May with identical phone number 0936573459, at 2023 coffee shop streetview: Google Maps , 2020 street view with phone number on the Nhà May sign Google Maps )despite no pin placed in coffee shop due to most old worker does not use phone and technology well. : Google Maps . The coffee shop is near most industrial zone such as: Công Ty Tnhh Sản Xuất Thương Mại Chánh Phẩm(Google Maps) , Công ty TNHH GOLDEN FRIENDS INTERNATIONAL (Google Maps) , two nearest factory that the coffee shop is fit in the middle of it, make it a great place for local hangout between worker during break. The supporting photo shown a great amount of people checking in and have a great talk together, despite being Sunday and a break for those worker, shown the location is a Great place to socialize with good coffee, and a great view in a town street.

I know the Appeal note is long and have a long yapping, but I have exhausted all my proof on why the coffee shop is significant to the community.

How do I prove this hidden gem or is it the end, should I just give up? I can’t make a gg marker based on the intial advice and I am out of the road.

:sob: Got an email related to Wayfarer and thought I submit a submission and forgot about it, really jumpscared me! Thank you so much for whoever staff reading this! :heart:

The supporting photo isn’t that good, as the sign you’re using in the main photo isn’t in the supporting. Remember that the supporting photo needs to show what’s in the main photo with the surrounding area, not just the surrounding area.

Showing people in line isn’t overly important, as info about the cafes popularity can be provided in the description and supporting text. If you still want to include some of the people in line and the sign with the surrounding area, maybe try different angles that include the sign, or consider making a photo collage of a few different photos (there are several apps out there that can make photo collages).

It’s hard to see with the small screenshots.

I’m so glad you got this accepted :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I think it was a really good submission especially the way you used the supporting picture to show how popular it is

For a local hidden gem, with no news paper, no google link map that can provide proof, text alone might make people think you “made stuff up”. I believe showing IRL interaction in the supporting photo can be a direct proof that this is a great place to socialize and to be a local hangout IMO.

Not necessarily. Every nomination is different, and even showing that a place is popular may not convince all that it meets criteria.
