I have a confirmation email saying my Pokestop was accepted, but that it could take to up 48 hours to appear in game. At this time, it’s been about 1 weeks, and I still don’t see it.
How do i report it?
Hello and Welcome @QaussainAneel94
The most likely reason is that unfortunately although accepted as a wayspot it has not met the selection rules by Pokémon Go to be used as a Pokestop or gym.
If you can provide the coordinates and name we can try and have a look and provide an explanation.
24.849993, 67.039816 these are the coordinates and the name of the nomination is Stone Water Fountain Garden Features Askari-III
It is in the same red box (technically called a S2 level 17 cell) as another wayspot - Gazebos. I presume Gazebos is already in the game.
The selection rule that is place by the Pokémon Go team is that only pokestop or gym can be in one of these cells. So Gazebos stop your submission being used. It remains in the database and could be used in the future.
It is too close to FG boys college (24.849856, 67.039853) to be a powerspot - and as that is a school it should be removed as it’s not allowed.
Technical details about how these cells work is available at

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news and happy to answer further.
Curious (as I’m not familiar with Pakistani schools) it’s a government school complex with different parts of the campus intended for different age/gender groups, could the college portion not be okay for waypoints?
I think their college is more like high school in the US. But it all gets very confusing when we mean different ages by the same words.

Same for the issue faced here. Received approved email few weeks and ended infinite waiting.
Did you read up on the responses on to why?
Hi there,
There has been no reply from Niantic since my last email per attached. Everyone is exciting to wait for the new spot and curious to know if it will be the Gym one.
Sadly to say nothing since then. Look like the reason of why reject is not informed and I noticed a lot of new spot or Gym are crowded even a small area you will notice more than 5 spot there worst 3 Gym there too.
Anyway, I respect your decision to reject and will not be involved with this anymore.
Thank you
Best Regards

Hello and welcome @AmazingR2Z
Unfortunately is likely to be an issue around its use in Pokémon Go.
Please read this information and if you post the location we will have a look to give an answer.
That doesn’t say it was rejected. It was accepted as a Wayspot in to the database.
It then needs to meet inclusion rules that Pokémon GO applies to become a PokéStop or a Gym.
The email states that:
Remember that not all accepted nominations will appear in all Niantic games (and may take up to 48 hours to appear).
If you don’t see it on Pokémon GO after 48 hours, it doesn’t meet those aforementioned inclusion rules for Pokémon GO, but the other games may use it (such as Pikmin Bloom for postcards).
Your nomination has not been rejected

Hi Niantic
May I know what is the missing part from my side to see this Stop in Pokemon Go app?
Too confused to contribute to Pokemon Go.
To be honest, good to get in touch with Niantic and there are too many issue facing when play with this Pokemon Go, the biggest nightmare for me is this account, I do not dare to do anything on this account because I can’t remember or I might key in wrong during the first time I registered with my DOB. According to Niantic, I need to key in my DOB to reset my password, only can login to Niantic website or link with other pokemon app or retrieve this account and hope my gmail account will forever no need to get my DOB for future.Hope to hear your advice on this accounting issue with my DOB.
Thank you
Nothing is “missing.” but there is the additional condition a Wayspot has to meet in order to be used as a Pokestop. We can probably show you the reason it is not eligible if you give us the gps coordinates as mentioned in the article that was linked.
Please be aware that the people responding on this thread so far are not Niantic staff. Staff do monitor these forums and have names that start with Niantic. Everyone commenting here is wayfarers, regular people just like you.
Also, you can type in any language and there is a translation function available for everyone.

I’m not a Niantic employee.
As others have said, nothing is “missing”. It’s simply that the Wayspot you nominated in Pokémon GO doesn’t meet the inclusion rules that Pokémon GO applies to become a PokéStop. Nothing Wayfarer can do.
If you’d like to suggest changes to Pokémon GO’s inclusion rules, I’m sure you can do that via the Pokémon GO app’s support chat.
It can be confusing because it is not as simple as it may appear.
If you tell us where the mini slide is we can give an individual explanation.
Either provide the address or th email you received to confirm receipt of the submission should have a set of co-ordinates below the photo - those work well too.
Assuming the S2 Cells are the reason it isn’t showing…
Your nomination may…
- become a Powerspot (Dynamax / Gigantamax) depending on its proximity to other waypoints.
- replace the existing waypoint if that is removed for legitimate reasons. ***
- be used in other Scopely games.
***Do Not attempt to get a legitimate wayspot removed just to get yours on to the map. This is seen as Abuse and can lead to suspension / bans of all accounts (Wayfarer, Pokemon Go and any other Scopely games).
Dear cyndiepooh,
Sorry of my late reply. Here the coordination:
3.133454248215435, 101.6301231082784
I have tried if I can resolve this, looks like a rocket and science matter on Pokemon Go: S17 cells 2 for nominate new Pokestop… Hope you can help solving this before it send to trash.
Your nomination is in an occupied cell with 2 Waypoints, one of those should be visible in PoGo, Children Payground Slide or DK Children Swing. Make sure you are placing the pin correctly on your nominations as it seems your mini slide is misplaced about 45 meters.
