Pokémon stops did not show up even though they were accepted

Hello, I submitted a lot of stops and wanted to make this game more playable for everyone involved in some corners of Cologne. I easily waited half a year until the Pokémon stop’s were accepted, but still over a third of them are not displayed… Which I think is a great pity. Can you give me a reasonable explanation why it has been accepted but is not even available?

Welcome to the forum @Agrosozial !

I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to Niantic’s database. The Wayspot can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. This is a good article about S2 cells and PoGo: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

If you would like to give us the title and gps coordinates for a Wayspot that you haven’t seen in Pokemon Go, we can see if S2 cells are the issue.
