My Nominations Keep Getting Rejected and I Don't Know Why

@Whitestorm9090

I’ve tried a roundabout, a memorial sign, park benches, park jogging path lamps

None of these sound like something I would approve. A wayspot must meet criteria stated here: Wayspot Criteria — Wayfarer Help Center

None of these sound like a particularly great place for exercise, exploration or being social. The benches and lamps sound like simply infrastructure. A roundabout normally does not have safe pedestrian access besides just not being intrinsically interesting. And memorials should be for someone important to the community:

@NianticTintino

Memorial benches can only be eligible under the criteria for exploration if they are dedicated to a notable figure and that notability is described in the nomination. Mass produced memorial benches dedicated to friends and family are not eligible unless the nominator provides evidence of the individual’s importance to the community. Just stating that someone was important to the community is inadequate.

I know that it is frustrating when everything you submit gets rejected. I recommend going through that Criteria Clarification Collection section and studying that criteria link before trying again. If there are specific ones you really think should have been accepted, you can share screenshots from your contributions page for advice. I do better discussing one at a time.

If you want to share the location, some people on the forum are good at looking at the map and making suggestions. But be sure to protect your privacy if you do.

I hope we can help you be successful!
