Welcome. Its AI rejection. So noone but staff can tell why it reject your nomination. But personally i am having difficulty locating the object in real world. Trees and bushes arent helping. Although i think its not on SFPRP, but u might have difficulty getting community review even if it pass AI. I suggest you to take new main photo with less trees and grass. For supporting photo,take photo with identifiable building(from street view) in the background. It will help reviewer point the location.

Last, it might be seen as temporary object, so if its not, you need to show more evidence to support your claim. You can use wayfarer web submission to input 5 supporting photo instead of ingame submission.

Thanks, it was a DIY project with my kid and definitely not a temporary one, will try to add more photos! The location you pointed is correct, it’s a small community garden and the birdhouse was mounted on one of the trees.

The community garden is eligible. I think it have nore chance than your home made bird house

Found this. If this DIY birdhouse is created solely to create wayspot, it might have issue.

If its community project, it would be different but you might need some evidence to support this claim.

Alternately submitting community garden will be easier as long you can proof its location
