How long my recommended PokeStop will remain in Voting or Queue status?
Should I nominate more PokeStop or wait until my recommended PokeStop get approved/rejected? There is no Power Stop or Pokemon Gym near my town. How can I nominate a Power Stop or Make a Pokemon Gym? Any suggestions how to get things done in a few days (as early as possible)
Hello,
Unfortunately, there’s no set timeframe for when a nomination will be resolved. It depends on the number of reviewers in your review area, so it could be days, weeks, months, even years in some cases. This is outlined in the Wayfarer FAQ:
How many reviews does it take to make a final decision on a Wayspot’s eligibility?
This exact number cannot be disclosed at this time, however, we can say that this depends on the performance of each individual Wayfinder.
You’re more than welcome to continue submitting nominations while you wait. We can submit 40 Wayspot nominations a day per game, so 40 in PoGo and 40 in Ingress, if you play both games.
You can also review nominations yourself, which will help earn you upgrades. Upgraded nominations get seen by a larger review area, and may get resolved sooner. More info can be found here:
Please note that we are nominating Wayspots, which, if approved, fet added to the Spatial map. Each Niantic game uses the map to determine game play locations, with some exceptions to Power Spots, and each game has its iwn density/inclusion rules. PoGo uses S2 cells, while Ingress uses a 20 meter rule. Therefore, there’s no guarantee that any approved Wayspots will be game play locations, but they will be added to the Spatial (developers also use the map).

I don’t know in which order my nominations will be placed for voting and move from queue status. What point is in submitting more places for PokeStop when they’ll be placed in queue status? There is already a bunch of nominations waiting under these two tags (voting/queue). Or is there any chance that these will be placed directly for voting and become a PokeStop even if other nominations that were submitted way earlier will remain under the same status?
Right now, ML, the AI system, is not auto-accepting nominations, only auto-rejecting. So, if ML doesn’t auto-reject, it’s moving on to community review.
Again, community review can take some time depending on where you are and the number of reviewers in your area. Personally, I don’t think it’s best to wait until you’ve received resolution on things you’ve already submitted, as then the things you are looking at submitted will take longer for resolution due to waiting.
Submit nominations as soon as possible so tgat they can get resolved as soon as possible.
Thank you, I’ll start nominating other places…
