My waypoint nominations always get refused even though they dont exist and always come with ridiculous reason to why they werent accepted why?

Literally every single waypoint nomination i do dont get accept. Ive had one accepted and its gone into a different game that i dont want it in and i want it in pokemon go.

Hey there, the community can only help you with the rejected ones if you share those examples by screenshotting them. If you choose to do so please wait a bit so that the upload completes before you hit the send button.

Your accepted Wayspot did not enter Pokémon GO because that game lies to you, you are never submitting Pokestops for Pokémon GO, but Wayspots for Niantics database. Then, afterwards, the game applies their own additional ruleset to decide whether to include the accepted database entry or not, which they won’t reveal but is an open secret.
Your accepted Wayspot has to be in a free S2 Level 17 cell to appear in the game.

Here is a popular guide that explains the S2 cell system they use in more detail: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

Hello and welcome,

Would you be willing to provide some screenshots of your rejected nominations? It’s possible that there may be some improvements that could be made, or that what you’re nominating may not meet criteria currently. Please feel free to share your nominations if you feel comfortable.

As for Wayspot criteria, you can review that here:
