The phrase used was “new Powerspots”
I would interpret that as you keep the ones converted and you get new powerspots generated.
That the new ones could include previously unused wayspots,
Its a fair question to seek clarification about.
I understand your frustration, but remember. This was an action by the Pokemon Team. Not @NianticTintino. I don’t think he can unilaterally reverse their decision. As he has said in previous posts. He is taking all the feedback to the Pokemon Go team.

As I have seen around my area(india) Google Street view was last updated around Jan 2024, and most of the nomination which gets accepted is clearly visible on Google Street view (L35+ Wayfinder use these Mostly ). convincing them with supplementary information (recent Photos) that 20 months is plenty of time for a place to change drastically is near impossible and Some people don’t feel satisfied with the IRL photo of the POI so they use Ai to Nominate Waystops.
Recent update L37→L35 requirement for the wayfarer nomination flooded already long queue with Ai Slops and SFPR Nomination (How this gets past The Emily i still have know idea).
Some people don’t like the IRL location and “Using Ai” to make it more appealing Nomination for wayfinders.
They are Busy Submitting their Home as a gyms/pokestops (AI Slops and SFPR) they don’t review much and if they do review i don’t think they follow the criteria properly like @ElfFromSpace mentioned previously .
Fake nominations are always going to happen, these should be reported for removal.
2024 Street View should be perfectly adequate for most nominations. Niantic are not expecting you to visit every locations so using street view etc will most likely give reviewers confidence it is there.
If you are nominating something that is too new for Street View GPSCameraAPP , making sure landmarks that are on street view are in supplemental image and the supplemental info should allow to to confirm it is there.
It’s visible in Google Street view but the present location is 10m away beside an Electric poll permanently fixed with cement.
That’s why it’s getting rejected as “ Not Unique”, and “Abuse” because It’s written in Local Language.
Even if I mentioned that it’s purely for Powerstop no luck so far (trying for 6 months now) ,we’re 7-8 weeks away from GO Wild Area event i don’t think it has any chance of getting accepted as Powerspot anytime soon
Do you mean you mentioned that in supporting information or description on Wayfarer?
After mentioning why the said nomination is eligible, i mentioned in supporting information “Powerstop” (10km away in town is the nearest Powerstop)
I know game specific Keywords isn’t allowed per say but still tried my luck
Don’t do that. It has no bearing on anything whether you need a Power Spot nearby and could be seen as Influencing Reviewers, which could lead to being reported and sanctions from the abuse ladder including suspension of your Pokémon GO account.
Don’t chance it
Now i only review and submit near my Hostel (Bengaluru, Karnataka) without mentioning any game related keywords
My home Village doesn’t have any “Note Worthy” Poi according to some reviewer so yeah If my family or friends ask me to accompany them town I go to catch some Dmax/Gmax mon there
@PkmnTrainerJ
It is thought that there is no point in having a “Wayfarer Drive” if there are no POI assets to begin with.
@BlameJamal
The Wayfarer team is more embarrassing than the PoGo team for trying to boast as an achievement the mistakes they made without understanding how pokestops, gyms, and power spots work.
What do our resident Wayfarer Ambassadors from India/Indonesia say?
There’s nothing around at all that can be nominated?
I mean, if Niantic Scopely are unable to reverse converted Pokestops back to powerspots then they can just import more 3rd party Wayspots to become. Which is something that I don’t want to happen.
Sorry, but I’m solo player in terms of using Wayfarer 
Same here. Hoped your situation may be a little different to my own
This is why people need to submit Wayspots even if they are not in a free cell.

from what i have read, some of the powerspots will show up tomorrow probably.
I doubt that the ones already converted would come back. There may be new ones though.
The sync happens on the 4th PST during day. So for Indonesia and India basically the timing is early hours of the 5th.
So sleep well and 
some new Powerspots will be there.
I will be watching for reports when I wake up
Remember you won’t necessarily be seeing them all straightaway.
