Original Submission Marked as Duplicate

  • Wayspot Title: The Gardens N.W. Park Gazebo
  • Location (lat/lon): (33.3260282, -111.7014249)
  • City: Gilbert
  • Country: United States of America
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information): Haven’t been receiving Emails
  • Additional Information (if any): I submitted three other pokestops that were also Gazebo’s and they were accepted just fine, yet this one was considered a duplicate.



Good evening! Welcome to the Wayforum!

Unfortunately, the gazebo you’re submitting is already in Wayfarer’s Lightship database and does not meet the inclusion rules for Pokémon GO.

Not all Wayspots approved may be included in each Niantic gaming product.

Welcome to the forum, @GyaradosToast

I know the prompt tells you that you are making a Pokestop contribution, but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the Lightship database.

There is a way to check for these hidden Wayspots in the Pokemon Go nomination map screen. You can turn on the toggle, and if the Wayspot is already in the database, it will show as an exclamation point. It doesn’t work over a large area, so you really need to be right there when you check it.

And fwiw, an accepted nomination can only go live in Pokemon Go if it is alone in a Level 17 S2 cell. This is a great article explaining how that works: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/
