Little Free Library Eligibility? (5 Examples)

[cyndiepooh]

Niantic has been clear that location is important, but won’t be specific. Even in the clarification, it only says

But there is no statement by Niantic as far as I am aware that says "Street side of sidewalk in front of house = Good.

Appealing the Removal of a Waystop/Pokestop

A few weeks ago when i went through a bunch of old rejected title edits and appealed them, I appealed a large number of “Little Free Library” wayspots. Every single one that was within a similar grass strip between sidewalk and street was approved, but all the ones that were “inside” the sidewalk the team retired rather than renaming. This seems like pretty clear evidence of what the criteria is at this point so this particular wayspot should be restored. Ideally the team would be more transpar…
