Rejection > Recreation Area - No Sign > Not Distinct

Nomination Support

I’ve appealed this decision. Here is the text I have used in case this helps anyone else:

"I believe the decision made by eMiLy is incorrect and the submission does meet Wayfarer criteria as follows:

  1. Eligibility Criteria.
    I have explained in the Description and Supplemental Information why this recreation area is a great place to be social with others. It is a permanent physical, tangible and identifiable place. In particular, I feel the nomination aligns with the Wayfarer Criteria Clarification, which explains that:
    “Parks are great places to explore, exercise and socialize. A nomination can be made for a park even if a park does not have a physical sign but is clearly a park. If there is an obvious entrance or focal point, that would be a good location to place the pin, but equally the middle of the park may be suitable. The supporting photo and text should provide evidence that the location is intended to be used as a park or recreational area.”

  2. Acceptance Criteria.
    The location is safe and publicly accessible by pedestrians and the submission contains accurate information about the wayspot.

  3. Rejection Criteria.
    The location is not:

  • private residential;
  • adult oriented;
  • interfering with emergency services;
  • a sensitive location;
  • a generic business.
    The location, text, description and photo are not abusive.
    The text, decription and photo meet eligibility criteria.
    The nomination is not fake.
    The nomination does not attempt to influence reviewers."
