Welcome to the forum!
I like to share this information with anyone who talks about nominating a pokestop:
I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the Lightship database, which can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. This is a good article about S2 cells and PoGo: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/
Even if your Wayspot nomination isn’t used as a stop or a gym, it could still be used as a Powerspot, so be sure to submit anything you think meets the criteria of a great place for exercise, exploration, or being social, and does not meet any of the rejection criteria.
There is a lot of great information on the forum for for new explorers, and this one can really help avoid some mistakes: Top Mistakes Made When Nominating, and How to Avoid Them

Hello and welcome,
Its great that you are interested in Wayfarer.
I hope your first nomination goes well.
Wayfarer looks deceptively simple, but there are lots of things to learn if you want to have the enjoymemt of getting to play with pokestops and gyms that you put in the game
So look around and ask questions.
