Bonjour à tous
Voilà presque une semaine que ma demande de pokestop a été accepté mais il n’apparaît toujours pas.
Normal ?
Merci d’avance
I have this written up for when I see a wheresmypokestop question:
I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the 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 how they are used in PoGo: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/
(Eligible Wayspots are added to Pokemon Go in a sync that happens once a day normally. If it has not been more than 48 hours since it was accepted, it could just be that it has not synced in yet.)
Wayspots that are not eligible to be Pokestops or gyms still have the potential to be used as Power Spots. It appears that there is a 22m distance requirement from any Pokestop or gym for it to be used this way, and it seems there is a limit of two active Power Spots per L14 S2 cell, the same size used to determine gyms. We explorers haven’t figured out the schedule for syncing in new Power Spots, but it is not on a daily basis at this time.
If you would like to leave the title and location, someone here with access to external resources may be able to confirm if there is indeed an issue with the S2 cells. But since the sale to Scopely has affected these Niantic (now NianticSpatial) maps being updated, it may be more difficult. The gps coordinates where you pinned the Wayspot will be after the second photo in the email you received when you submitted the nomination, but the pin may have been moved in voting. Do be aware this is a public forum if you would rather not reveal your location. I realize this is a lot of information to dump on someone, so please ask if you have more questions.

Voici les coordonnées géographiques de la demande

I don’t see anything right there. A screenshot of the Title and Main photo might help me (or someone else) find it. Or it might just not be in the NianticSpatial database I know how to search.
I was asking for a screenshot from your contributions page, but I think this will work. I found this live at 43.050931999999996, 0.743497
Reviewers can move the pin if they think yours was not accurate.
This location is not eligible to show in Pokemon Go because it is in the same L17 cell with at least one other Wayspot, as illustrated here:
Dommage 
Merci d’avoir pris le temps de répondrez à ma question.
Bonne continuation

Welcome to the forum!
Just a note that Niantic considers submitting away from the actual object to be abuse, and takes that very seriously. I know mistakes can happen, and have to me as well, but I like to remind people every time I share the information about S2 cells that points of interest have to be submitted where they actually are, not in a free cell. Happy to help!
