Standard-compliant PokeStop disappears

The Wayspot that had previously applied to be moved disappeared after receiving the letter that the move was approved. Why did this happen? In addition, why do some PokeStops occasionally appear and disappear?

Welcome to the forum @tomsean

Usually when a Pokestop disappears after a move, it has been moved into a level 17 S2 cell with another Wayspot already in it. To learn more about how Pokemon Go uses S2 cells, see this article:

If you would like to give the name and location (estimate if you don’t have the exact coordinates) of the Pokestop Wayspot, someone can check and see if this is what has happened in this case.

I have seen some reports of appearing and disappearing Pokestops where staff has had to do something on the backend to make it stable. I think these situations are also after location edits.

Edit: I found one of these examples here
