Restore Wayspot

[policlates]

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

• Wayspot Title: Espía como puedas
• Location (lat/lon): 42.8882159, -8.5378632
• City: Santiago de Compostela
• Country: Spain
• Additional Information (if any):
  The wayspot “Espía como puedas”, which must be close to 10 years old, has been inexplicably removed. Please restore it to its location and take whatever action you deem appropriate with the responsible player. Several wayspots in the city, completely valid, have been moved, edited or deleted for some time with the sole intention of harming and annoying some players who use them more frequently.
  Photos verifying their existence and location are attached.

Thank you very much.

Niantic has been removing graffiti per their stance on what qualifies as street art, clarified here:

Unique Art

Works of art and architecture encourage exploration and reflect the communities where they are found and their values. Art Works of art are generally eligible so long as they are unique, distinct, and permanent. This can include indoor artwork (framed and murals) and museum exhibits that are intended to be permanent. Nominators should use the official title and credit the artist when possible. They should tell the story of the work, explaining the cultural context. Submitters should make use …

If you have anything you can show Niantic to prove that this is an important street art piece rather than vandalism, you should give them that evidence here for this appeal.

Thanks for the appeal, @policlates. We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire this Wayspot.
