Also, there’s already a Wayspot that’s become a PokéStop on this cell. Red marker is the coordinates of the duplicate [IMG_3021] So “Guildart Street mural #1” is the PokéStop for that cell.

[image] AxleFox: at 61A Kempston Street Hello, I’ve had a look and think this is the duplicate mentioned. [IMG_3019] The mural matches the outside. Whilst it may not appear in Pokémon GO, it’s still in the Niantic Map data as a Wayspot.

That is indeed the old storefront, the new owners have kept the murals up as it would be a shame to get rid of them and end up with a drab brick wall like most of the rest of the street.

In that case it’s still in the database and is the Live Wayspot that the Niantic team mention is a duplicate. As noted, even if the name was updated, it wouldn’t appear in Pokémon GO.

Fairly new to how the nominations work, so didn’t know there was a restriction on amount in a given area (I swear I’ve seen several almost on top of each other in some locations before while travelling). What I don’t understand then is why the previous spot was permitted but not the replacement ( i…

There had been a Pokestop there (as mentioned in my other response, that was removed to attempt to correct the details as an attempt to just edit the stop was rejected as ‘repurposing’), so this is where the confusion came in

What you noted was removed was the other one. [IMG_3021] “The Scythe Tea Cup”. It’s still in Ingress where I’ve got this from due to the maps splitting but it isn’t the same as the business from what I can see. It’s also in a different cell, so met the inclusion rules of Pokémon GO.

I believe it started as crit hit/critical hit as per the earlier image you included, then became the scythe and tea cup (per the spot) under the same management. Now it’s been taken over by new ownership it’s rebranded as The Gamers Lodge, hence the hope to have replaced the spot.

They are two different Wayspots. Scythe and Tea Cup is one Wayspot, which you noted was a PokéStop and then got removed. There’s also a Wayspot for “critical hit game hub” which is a different Wayspot to the “Scythe and Tea Cup”. Removing the mural has zero impact on the other Wayspot. “critical …
