Hello! I have 4 POI accepted (2022, 2023, 2025) but never appeared in Pokemon GO. What can I do? 
Thanks!
I keep this explanation written up for people looking for their Pokestops:
I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to Niantic’s Lightship 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/
With the title and location of the Wayspot, someone here can check the S2 cells. The easiest way for me to check is with the gps coordinates, which will be below the second photo in your submission email. The pin may have been moved in voting, though, and lots of people here are good at finding Wayspots with even just a general location. Be aware that this is a public forum if you do decide to give this information.
