I want too ask the community help on the following Nomination. It a very rural area where the nearest POI is about 20-30Km away. And this is the only place I found to be the best POI for players in the area. So what did I do wrong ? It was rejected cant understand why
Thank you but it is not walking distance for the players, since it mostly farm area. Also, it unsafe because they will have to walk over or against the Highway/freeway.
The pool is accessible for the guests there, and they may play the games as well. I don’t think about building the database map for my local community, but for all who may come through the area to play.
If this is the lodge, that may be a hard one to get approved; it may be seen as a generic business by most. It’s not a chain, and does have some things for guests that make it somewhat unique. The lodge does have a pool, which may be a better POI to nominate. Their website also notes that they have a spa and paintball, with a restaurant and playground coming soon.
Rural areas can be a little harder to find POIs that are eligible, but there is a thread noting what to look for:
I would definitely consider submitting the individual points of interest at the Lodge, or the Lodge itself mentioning those items if you prefer (for example if its difficult to get a picture of the pool etc without being a guest)
And Id submit the churches too as and when I was nearby. Local people wouldn’t need to worry about the freeway probably since they may already be on the correct side
If you build up the area, it may encourage more local players to submit too, and it will grow more from you starting the process. That’s certainly what happened in my area. So you dont necessarily have to do it all
Hi! Just moving this to Nomination Support so people who want to help can see it.
Please note that the screenshot that was probably the first half of your nomination didn’t upload, so it’s hard to advise in full, however I would like to caution against using arguments such as “not enough POI” in your supporting information, it has no bearing on eligibility and can cause (unjustified) knee-jerk rejections from some reviewers. Also, from the discussion lower in the thread, it strikes me as unlikely that churches would have no pedestrian access.
Please post your nomination in full as right now it is not clear what is being nominated (building, garden, something else?..) and hopefully we can give more tailored advice
