Hello, I have a small doubt about why or how to solve this.
I have made proposals for pokestops in pokemon go, and 5 were accepted, and only 3 appeared in the game and it was fast, and the other two are not appearing in the game and 48 hours have already passed.
Should I wait longer or is there something I can do? I await your response patiently, thank you very much!!
Not all accepted nominations are guaranteed to appear in Pokémon Go. There may be issues to do with location and proximity of other Go stops & gyms.
Your accepted nominations may become power spots or appear in other Niantic games.
If they haven’t appeared in Go after 48 hours then chances are they won’t.
Well done on your acceptances and have fun exploring and finding other wayspots.

Hello,
It could be possible that only 3 meet the inclusion rules for being in PoGo. What we are doing is nominating Wayspots, not stops/gyms for PoGo or portals for Ingress. Each Niantic game uses the Lightship map, which contains all Wayspots, for game play locations, with the exception of Power Spots. PoGo uses S2 cells, while Ingress uses a 20 meter rule. Here’s more info on the S2 cells:

Please feel free to post the info about the 2 Wayspots not showing up in PoGo and they can be checked to see if they meet inclusion rules or not.

I echo what has already been said by @Dadcaesar and @DTrain2002. I know you will be disappointed with some of your nominations not appearing, but don’t be. You are contributing to a wider plan. Anything from Max Spots to, potentially, Way Spots for other games. Maybe one day, Niantic may change the rules and your nomination may end up appearing in game.

Hello! For us to check and see if it is indeed the Level 17 S2 cell issue preventing these from going live, we would need to know the location to check. If you are not comfortable giving out the location, you don’t need to. But if you want us to look, the gps coordinates these were submitted at will be in the submission email under the supporting photo, if you still have that.

Cancha de Futsal is in the same L17 S2 cell as Cancha de Campo
so only one of those can become a Pokestop/gym
Cancha de Voley is in the same L17 S2 cell as Mesa de
so only one of those can become a Pokestop/gym
They are showing as portals in Ingress, and could possibly be used as Powerspots in Pokemon Go, so I hope you don’t feel too frustrated about this. Here is what I usually copy and paste for newer submitters wondering where their Pokestops are:
I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the Lightship database, which 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/
I understand now, thanks!!, so the two won’t be PokeStops because two already take up space?, or does one have to be a gym for another PokeStop to be there??..
That’s the last question I have.
The lvl 17 s2 cells only allow one wayspot within to appear in Pogo as either a stop or gym.

Please don’t hesitate to ask questions!
For future reference, the pin for a field or court should not be in the middle of the play surface. It should be off to the side, preferably at the entrance.

Just to be very, very clear, don’t try to move something or pin something just to put it in an empty cell. I sometimes confuse people, so I want to make that very clear. But knowing about the S2 cells can help you know where to look for things to nominate for Pokestops.
