There’s a gym nearby, and I was wondering if people could check if it would be possible to turn it into a PokéStop (to see if it meets the Wayfarer criteria).I’d like suggestions on what I could include, for example: description, Additional information etc.Additional information etc.
A gym business is a great place for exercise and being social. When I nominate a gym, I include anything that is unique to that place in the description. Since “generic business” is a rejection reason, they are often mistakenly rejected in community review, but are accepted on appeal. I will edit in an example if my contributions page every loads XD

Thanks for the tip, bro.
Admission: When I 1st started with Wayfarer I did Reject a few, thought was “Very Funny, nominating a Gym to be a Pokemon Gym”.
When you understand the Social / Exercise / Explore and that a Gym can be all 3 then these should be obvious Accepts.

A gym can be part of a chain and may not have anything unique about it, but is still extremely eligible. As @cyndiepooh did, mention the exercise criteria in the supporting information, but in the main text just describe the POI without referencing criteria etc.
I had one accepted, one denied which I appealed. The appeal was rejected, so I posted here and got it accepted.
It only needs a couple of sentences, unless there really is something special about a gym. Trying too hard will put off reviewers. I had this as the description for the chain gym which the community accepted [I’ve only just noticed the spelling mistakes!]: “One of the newer breed of gyms which allow access to good quality equipmemt and classes at a generaly affordable price. This gym is located in a retail park near bus routes, with good access even for those who don’t drive to the gym.”

This afternoon I’m going to the gym to try and create a PokéStop, but I’ll post the progress here afterwards.

Therefore, regarding what I send, I would like suggestions to see what I could change, if there is anything to change, for example in the description.
If you want advice, you could upload it and then put it on hold (within 24 hours of initially selected Upload Now or Upload Later), then you are free to ask for advice and edit it without risking it going into review. Once it goes into review, you cannot make further edits.

Hi @tiago123k
I’ve moved your thread into Nomination Support.
I’m looking forward to your update

Just a reminder that not everything that is eligible and accepted meets the inclusion criteria to show up in Pokemon GO.
