Removal request - This is honestly getting ridiculous

[Drezus64]

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

• Wayspot Title: OXENTE, é o Nordeste

• Location (lat/lon): 23°33’09.4"S, 46°38’17.1"W

• City: São Paulo

• Country: Brazil

• Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):
  

  

• Additional Information (if any):

It doesn’t exist anymore. It just doesn’t exist anymore. What is the Niantic review team even doing?! Anyone with internet access can verify this. The gas station was abandoned in 2023 and renovated in 2024 and the mural no longer exists. Why do I have to bring proof of something so simple and obvious???

Not only that, but the wayspot title can be easily be identified as a xenophobic joke. This thing shouldn’t even have been added to the game in the first place, but here I am HAVING TO JUSTIFY why something that’s clearly xenophobic and non-existant should be removed.

Hello @Drezus64
I understand that you are deeply frustrated, as that is clear from what you wrote.
I have edited it out as it is not relevant to the appeal, and your comments should not get in the way of the appeal being reviewed.

@CarolFigueiraRS
Is there any assistance you can give here with your perspective on this especially the point about xenophobia?

Thanks for the appeal, @Drezus64. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question.
