Well at least Reddit agrees with me on Hospitals 
that is wrong. how does a complex meet any of the criteria of a great place of exercise, exploration, or being social?
this is going in circles, so i will mute the topic. good luck to you. please don’t mislead anyone.

I have placed this topic in slow mode to allow participants to consider before responding
@ragneGevoLI please take time to absorb what is being said.
That’s the nominators obstacle to overcome. A complex absolutely can meet criteria. Reporting me to Niantic for stating the fact that a apartment complex could be eligible in a thread where you claim hospitals are eligible was a choice.
There is always nuance. I agree that a case could be made for special architecture for places that aren’t generally eligible otherwise.
It is because of the nuance that we the community votes on if things should be accepted or not. We have been given guidelines, that are not hard and fast rules. If there was a rules they wouldn’t need us.
I didn’t mean to upset you. I really do like understanding where others are coming from. It helps me think about potential wayspots in new ways. That said, I did not present any controversial or subversive takes on how the community applies the guidelines.
@ragneGevoLI please be more respectful with the tone you are posting in.
And please stop to consider that you may be interpreting or recalling the wording not correctly.

Just because these got through doesn’t mean they are eligible. There is a good chance these “may interfere with the operation of the hospital” even if they aren’t in the ER “may interfere with the operation” is an extremely high hurdle to overcome. I wouldn’t be [edit] talking about these locations, if they are on the property of a hospital there is a chance, no matter how small, that they interfere with its operations.
Edited to remove an unnecessary word and maintain a better tone
It would be the responsibility of the nominator to evidence that the place/object won’t obstruct emergency services or interfere with the operation of the hospital.
And it would then be the reviewers judgement call decide how to vote on what has been provided,
I think that the sub topic of looking at cases in hospitals has been explored and it risks going round in circles. Perhaps some other examples can be explored.
I was accused of misinformation, piled on and told I was wrong, put in slow mode and reported to Niantic and now you’re warning me?
I’ll scream it from the rooftops - an apartment complex by itself can be eligible if it meets any criteria - there is no Niantic rule that says it cannot. A hospital can not, because there’s a potential likelihood it interferes with operations (which is a Niantic rule).
Keep attacking me tho, and saying I’m the problem, when an ambassador that says a complex is not eligible and a hospital is.
You’re including yourself in this pile on btw
but that argument could be used anywhere. The ambulance that is going to the hospital has to pickup the patient from somewhere. If that somewhere is a accepted nomination then it is likely to “interfere with its operation” so you have just closed Pokemon Go down in 1 thread…
- Someone collapses next to a statue. The waypoint is obstructing them.
- A child injures himself at the play park. Obstruction…
That’s like saying “The news must be correct as Bob said so on Facebook”.
“Apartment buildings”. “Hospitals” are not eligible in themselves but if they happen to be located in a listed building then the building could be eligible.
We have an old bank building that is listed and is now a clothes shop. The business is not eligible but the building is.
We also have a listed building that was the towns Fire Station, it is now a business that sells bike. The business is not eligible but the building is.
There are only a few buildings that are 100% ineligible (K12 Schools, SFPRP), many other building would not be eligible themselves but may if there is something special about it or items attached to it are eligible.

Off site ambulance services aren’t operations of a hospital.
Cleaning linens are hospital operations. Checking people into non emergency services are hospital operations. Behind the scenes delivery of medical supplies down back corridors are hospital operations.
“may interfere” is the lowest bar. It doesn’t say likely to interfere. It says “may”.
So your wayspot of that statue in the back hallway 100% may interfere with hospital operations.
In case you are unaware as an Ambassador I am also a moderator of this forum.
Staying within forum guidelines ensures that all can contribute in a good atmosphere.
A good atmosphere promotes a good exchange of opinions.
Selective moderation was your choice.
I have example of kfc restaurant which is ineligible because niantic said its chain restaurant. But i submit playground inside of it instead.

You submitting a KFC is telling on yourself.
But KFC isn’t ineligible. You failed to prove the KFC you submitted was a great place to explore, socialize or exercise. Thats not Niantic saying KFC is ineligible.
I’m closing this topic. OP has gotten their original answer.
