Is there any point in submitting portal edits?

Which edit was approved?

We have been told that is a business changes, such as a pub becoming a different type of eatery, that the Wayspot for the old business should be removed, and once removed, a new Wayspot nomination can be submitted. We are not supposed to repurpose Wayspots for businesses that have changed, but rather take the above route.

I recently did this with a Cajun restaurant that closed, and a new Mexican restaurant has taken its place. I requested the removal of the Cajun restaurant, and that was approved with a photo showing the new signage on the building, via a link of a photo I uploaded to a 3rd party image service. Someone else got to submitting the Mexican restaurant before I did, but I did submit title/description/photo edits, as all were inaccurate or low in quality.

Now, some things don’t need to be removed if they are similar. This happened to me as well, when I requested removal of a tennis court that had been turned into a pickleball court. Instead of removing the Wayspot, staff renamed it to reflect it’s now a pickleball court. While these are different sports, they are similar, so an edit to reflect the change from tennis to pickleball was not seen as repurposing if I had just submitted an edit instead of a removal request.

Lastly, more info about adding links to removal requests can be found here (they do not need to be links to Scaniverse splats, as I don’t use Scaniverse, just photos):
