Fala Comunidade! Tudo Bom?
Bom, tenho uma dúvida sincera em relação a elegibilidade de Postos de Gasolina e Lojas de Conveniência, pois vi alguns post Gringos dizendo que são locais elegíveis.
então, de fato são elegíveis? ja tentei recomendar alguns mas sem sucesso, alguma sigestão? desde já agradeço pela moral.
Hello,
A standard convenience shop or fuel station would be considered a generic business and not something special that would meet the criteria of
Great place to exercise, explore or socialise.
Does that help?
Hi, yes that helps, thanks for the reply.
In fact, several of the stations where I live are standard, but there is one exception, if one of these convenience stores has a popular award for best Convenience Store in the City, would that make it eligible as a wayspot?
It might be. If there is a plaque on display that could be a focus.
You could write up why it was so special and important to the community.
It may still not be acceptable but it may be best chance.
You are welcome put the information here and we can feedback.
I’ll move this to nomination support area 
Thanks for the moral, right now I’m busy doing work but when it’s finished I’ll gather all the possible information at my disposal.
Hello!
Sorry for the delay, but here’s some information I’ve put together for this specific Recommendation.
The post of SHELL SELECT gasoline from the city of Paudalho received an award through a popular vote in the SHELL SELECT gasoline from the city of Paudalho received an award through a popular vote in the year 2023, I used this factor as an argument but I was unsuccessful, I will send some links attached to the post to clarify things, I hope there is no prohibition on this.

Hello,
Shell is a huge global brand, with stores all over the world, so this would be considered a generic business, as well as a chain, and is ineligible. We have a few Shell gas stations where I live, and none have Wayspots. I did find this info from 5 years ago about Shell Select stores being a part of the Shell brand, and being put in place all over the world:
And here’s one from 2022 that Shell Select was being opened in Ecuador:
There are some chains out there that have sponsored Wayspots in some of the games, but the company has paid NIantic to have them in the game(s), so it’s a little different. In the US in October, we received stops/gyms in PoGo at Walmart stores; Walmarts are ineligible by Wayfarer standards, but they have a sponsorship deal with Niantic/PoGo, hence why they have stops/gyms currently.
There have also been times when generic businesses do get Wayspots after being nominated and voted on by the community. Wayfarer does have an AI system now, ML for short, that does filter out a good deal of them, and rejects them. ML wasn’t fully in place in 2023, so most nominations were being voted on by the community still. Being that not all Shell stations use this model, I can see why it may have gotten through voting and approved, but I would have rejected it based on it being a part of the Shell brand.
We do have clarification on generic/non-generic businesses, and this should be followed when reviewing or nominating any business. Hopefully those who are saying generic businesses are eligible will be pointed to this info, so that they know the eligibility.
Hello
Thank you for Interacting and for the clarification, it was another appeal on my part in relation to this Recommendation, I am from Brazil and I live in an area so the appeal since there are not so many WaySpots nearby, once again Thank youThank you for interacting and for the clarification, it was another appeal on my part regarding this Recommendation, I am from Brazil and I live in an area so the appeal since there are not so many WaySpots nearby, once again Thank you. 
Paging @CarolFigueiraRS who is a fellow Ambassador, and is from Brazil. She may be able to assist.
A lot of cities have these type of awards around here. Saying that, this is still pretty generic to me. I lived in a smaller town before and wouldn’t nominate a glass station even for this same award.
I would try local restaurants. They are also hard, but aren’t an instant no to me.
Tu poderia ver se os restaurantes e similares por aí saíram em alguma artigo de jornal, se participou de algum festival de gastronomia local, é o restaurante mais antigo da cidade, algo que destaque o local, tu pode colocar um link na informação de apoio pra ajudar nisso.
Essa imagem é de um prêmio que uma churrascaria bem famosa aqui na minha cidade ganhou da prefeitura. Eu ia solicitar ela no lugar da Churrascaria mas por sorte a Churrascaria já era uma pokestop. Acho locais assim bem interessantes, as vezes tem uma placa ou um mural dentro.
Entendi, Obrigado Carol, vou ficar atento a esses detalhes em uma próxima avaliação futura.
