After reading your posts once more the wayspots you showed are defenitely ineligible, because of 2 main points
Maybe read up on the criteria again?
I have explained enough, I will step away from the discussion for a little bit.
That’s for Wayfarer and PGO teams to decide. We will continue to reject these unless instructed otherwise. No amount of misinformation and repetition is going to change that.
Reading your explanation and supplementary information, it’s clear that person made significant contributions to the community. However, you cannot learn this by visiting the site itself. The sign there doesn’t mention their achievements either. If a QR code were provided to learn about them, it might become a place worth visiting. But neither is present at the location. Therefore, it does not meet the eligibility criteria.
@AMG7070 @CrownFeather always appreciate your willingness to give your time to discuss, explain criteria and help newer Wayfarer users, but here you are not being engaged with in good faith. Keep that in mind when responding.
I may have gone too far. I’ll be more careful.
To be very clear, the person you are talking to is not engaging in good faith, not you.
will keep in mind. That’s why I stepped away from the post. Thank you
Not accurate.
You can read the below articles to get more clarity:
Acceptance criteria
Rejection Criteria
These repeated accusations are untrue. I firmly believe that my nominations are eligible and it’s frustrating that people continue to accuse me of “bad faith” when I want to see more street signs in game.
I’ve reviewed these pages again, thanks for the links. It seems there’s a disconnect between what Tintino has said and how these pages claim that Wayfarer actually works, but that shouldn’t change how I review wayspots for not meeting eligibility criteria. Regardless, my nominations do meet eligibility criteria.
These do not meet the eligibility criteria, though. A simple street name sign does not tell you about the history of the person or event it has been named after: it’s just a sign that means to indicate the name of said place. You telling history of the person it has been named after in the Wayspot description or supporting information does not make it a great place to explore, as the object itself is not a great place to explore, be social or exercise. Seeing a street name sign and arguing that it encourages people to google said person and thus explore is a stretch to say the least: you cannot predict people’s behaviour in that manner.
If these streets have informational sign(s) about the person/event the street is named after, that object itself merits exploration. A simple street name sign does not - no matter who its named after. It is generic infrastructure of the city as the object itself is meant to signal the name of the street, not encourage passerbys to learn about the person/event the street is named after.
That’s what the description is for.
Street signs are crucial for enabling exploration and exercise of urban areas.
While I strongly disagree, if you truly feel that a nomination does not meet the eligibility criteria, it’s easy to thumb them down in review.
You cannot argue that your Wayspot description is enough to merit a Wayspot to fit the “great place to explore” criteria. You could submit a garbege dump and write a great description how said dump contributes to the local recycling plans and environmentalism – even with that, the place itself, despite the great and educational description, would not itself be worthy of exploration. It is the same with these street signs of yours. The signs themselves, the object you are submitting, is not a great place to explore. It does not fit the criteria for exercising either as every single pedestrian street is meant to allow pedestrian access, yet they are basic infrastructure. Street signs main purpose is to give a name to a street - not to encourage exploration or exercise. They function as basic infrastructure.
You should note that thumbing down the 3 criteria does not always make it so that you reject the submission. In the cases of generic infrastructure, such as street signs, “not distinct” is a perfectly valid reason to reject a submission, because you can only ensure that you are actually rejecting a submission if you press thumbs-down on “appropriate”, “safe”, “accuracy” or “permanent and distinct”. Generic infrastructure is not distinct by definition.
i really appreciate that you want to help this person understand, but i can assure you that they do understand from our history on the wayfarer discussion discord.
Thanks for the suggestion. I agree that this could be a great place for exploration. There’s even a story about someone who attempted to buy a dump so that they could explore it further, though unfortunately I don’t believe they were successful.
I disagree - they enable exploration on a level that wouldn’t have been possible without them.
This is what Tintino has said about the eligibility criteria, yeah. I think it’s a great move by Niantic that places don’t need to be great for one of these purposes, but IMO it’s irrelevant to this case.
Yeah they do seem to be genuinely ragebaiting at this point, so working from a place of bad faith as others have said above. 
No there’s not. Any guidelines or clarifications are always in line with the core criteria.
You have the option to appeal if you believe that your nominations should have been eligible. Please note that the decision on appeal will be final and will not be reviewed any further.
I cannot appeal accepted nominations.
You can, if they have been retired. Try this:
I firmly believe in my arguments and it is frustrating that people feel that any disagreement with the community means that I must not stand behind my beliefs.
Now, Wayfarer and wayspot are in a state of great paradox.
Wayfarer team has been neglecting this paradox for a long time.
And Wayfarer’s team is only working to make this paradox even deeper.
The previous import of Overture Maps and the old Foursquare location data, and now this import is not the Wayfarer team’s job.
That is a job for the Pokémon GO team to do.
Wayfarer team should think about what is the mission of the work they need to accomplish.
Let the game team take care of the game.
All you have to do is to keep a lot of good wayspots in your storage and make a list of them.
Not hoarding junk wayspots in your own storage.
