Multiple accepted Pokestop nominations have not shown up for months

I created and nominated multiple Pokestop entries back in October. Since then, a majority of them have been accepted on wayfarer. However, it’s been months and not one nomination has shown up on Pokémon go. Please fix if possible!

While the in game nomination process in Pokemon Go mentions that you are nominating pokestops for that game this is technically incorrect. You are actually nominating wayspots for Niantic’s LIghtship database, which Pokemon Go will then make a separate decision on whether to use it in game or not.

Your nominations likely either reside in an already occupied cell or are located in a geoblocked location. If you are willing to share the nomination coordinates people on this forum can advise further.

Welcome to the forums @ToastyJones!

Here is a frequently-shared link that explains the cell system @hikaru588 mentioned and how it is used in PoGO, in case you aren’t aware: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

If you would like to share the name and gps coordinates of one that hasn’t shown up, we can check to verify that it is the issue of not being alone in a level 17 S2 cell. Occasionally there are other reasons that it won’t show up, like in this post
