I submitted a wayspot nomination and it said duplicate

On the Pokémon Go app it doesn’t show anything at this location. It was a pool I submitted at an apartment complex. It’s right next to 2 existing wayspots one being a playground and the other being a map sign for apartment complex. The map sign I submitted on the same day as the pool, the map sign was approved by the pool was not. It says it is a duplicate but there is nothing at that spot. The playground and the map sign are in different level 17 cells.

I’m confused as to why it is saying duplicate. As far as I can tell there is nothing at that particular pool. Now there are 4 pools at the complex and 2 are wayspots but they all look unique and are at different ends of the complex. The apartment complex is really big and there are many players that live here. I don’t know if they already nominated this exact location but it doesn’t show anything there on the Pokémon Go app. I believe they may have made a mistake by listing it duplicate because of the other pools in complex being wayspots or because the way spot I nominated was by 2 existing wayspots in the game but are in different level 17 cells next to each other.

Can someone take a look at this for me please?

I also wanted to add that I already appealed this nomination and it was ruled duplicate still but I feel it could be a mistake. Oddly enough my 2 other nominations that were approved I had to appeal them to get them final approval.

Here are the gps coordinates for the wayspot I nominated JV7X+2M Phoenix, AZ, USA

The pool is already accepted and appears in Ingress.

Looks like the pool gps location in Ingress is incorrect. Should it be in the actual pool area? It is showing it is just outside the area on the playground. That would probably be why it isn’t showing up in Pokémon Go because it is in the same level-17 cell as the playground portal. Is there anyway to get the pool portal moved to the correct gps coordinates?

The pool does look like it could be adjusted to a more accurate location that is outside the water but closer to the pool.

There’s also a grilling area in that cell you could nominate, as well as some sort of field, though it’s not clear from satellite whether it would be eligible as some kind of sports field or dog park.

The field used to be a small soccer field with goals on each end but they removed it and it’s just an empty dirt space. Probably wouldn’t make a good nomination since it’s just a dirt square now. The pool should definitely be adjusted if possible. It looks like it is outside of the pool area by a good amount. The grill area looks pretty bland these days they removed the bench and table to it.
