Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.
I’m looking for some help regarding a PokéStop nomination that was accepted on June 16, 2026. It’s been 10 days now, but it still hasn’t appeared on the map in Pokémon GO.
Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently, or is it likely a cell density issue? Any advice on how to check if it’s active elsewhere would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help! Have a nice day !
Hey @chromaureve ,
Welcome to the Wayfarer Community Forum.
While some nominations may be deemed eligible by the community of reviewers on Niantic Wayfarer for inclusion into Niantic’s location database, they may not necessarily be added into every Niantic game. After a nomination is approved by reviewers, there is an additional automated review that determines whether the nomination is an appropriate fit for each particular Niantic game. Each game has its own set of criteria for this step, so some nominations may be accepted into one game but not another.
The most common reason that an eligible nomination is not added to Pokémon GO is because the nomination is too close to existing PokéStops or Gyms. If an existing game location is removed or the criteria change, the nomination may appear within Pokémon GO at a later time.
Please keep in mind that while this is a common reason, it is not the only one.
Best,
If you leave the title and location we can try to give you a visual.
You may want to see this topic: Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)
It is also extremely close to the school that I can not confirm whether it is on School Property.
With the subject it would hint that it is…
I cannot see this wayspot, either on the main map or the submission map.
I didn’t photoshop it on there. I wouldn’t know how.
I know! I just can’t make it appear for me. Can you still see it>
I don’t understand because there are pokestops very closed, so can you explain more explicitly please ?
To be accepted the pokestop have to be in what zone exactly ?
The wayspot was accepted. It shouldn’t have been, as it is on school property, but it was accepted at the correct location and there was nowhere else it exists.
You cannot put a wayspot where the POI does not exist in order to create a pokestop.
I don’t know how to be clearer than in that topic I linked:
Perhaps the linked post there will be clearer.
If you look at the picture on @cyndiepooh 's post, you can see a box on the map with a red outline and purple shading. This is a level 17 S2 cell. Each of these level 17 S2 cells can only contain a single Pokéstop or Gym under normal circumstances.
Depending on where you are in the world, these level 17 S2 cells may differ slightly in size and shape. Some, like the ones in your area, are mostly rectangular, whilst others can be more rhombic. They can still only have one Pokéstop or Gym in them though.
You can see that both wayspots are in this single level 17 S2 Cell, so only one of them is able to appear as a Pokéstop or Gym.
Not It’s on the street
Ok never mind thanks for the reply
