Tired of making nominations

Thank you for the advice and clarity.

Mostly supermarket and small shops is where people do meet up. Logically it not a place of socialization. In perspective small town, people talk for long period time.

Will start with my photo improvement :grin:

I do it equally for all players. But analyze and doing some homework the nomination chould be eligible. Not using photo’s and street view only. And I don’t think I am bad reviewer

I do apply the Niantic rules. Al’so, go the exstra mile. The same I do for my nominations try my best and not blindly nomination. Like I previously I speak to the owners and people around my town. And the little players in our community what there input.

You can create that topic from for your own interests or gain :joy:. You are "The gate keeper " so all shall follow you

Happy to help. :+1:

Maybe try a tighter crop on the sign in the main photo, omitting the mailboxes?

Oh, Niantic has made this clarification about shopping plazas:

Maybe you could submit the plaza if you have something like this instead of individual shops that may be seen as generic.

Hey, around that shop there is few nice shops. It is a little shopping place. With a coffee shop, butchery, hairdresser. So, if I nominate the billboard with all these shop. Is my chances higher that it will be approve ? If I understand this correctly

You might post some photos here, but that does sound like it could be a good candidate.

Hi so I took photos of everything that at the one shop I nominated

Not sure if all the shops may be seen. But they are unquie shops and place for gathering etc.

That does look like it would be a destination people would head to imo. Do you have any photos of a sign for the plaza?

No, will go and take once it stop raining. Just wanted to show the shops names etc to you and the community. That there is method too my madness not submitted unreasonable POI. But your advice helped a lot.

@cyndiepooh - I manage to take additional photos of the place. Since it so old there not really a billboard as to say which shops is there, since it a small town. People just know where to go general for coffee at the shop, the supermarket etc. As I mentioned before so what is then a way to make it POI. Still think it should be one. For socially there a coffee shop and hairdresser. Exploring fresh organic food and probably the coffee shop again. For exercise it bit tricky since you will see on maps there a massive open field which trail runner and mountin bikers use to exercise and get refreshments. So photo I took attach










Thank you for providing the photos. Without a plaza marquee sign, I don’t know how you could submit this. A shooting range is given as an example on the rejection criteria page Niantic Wayfarer, so that would not be good. I looked at the Olive and Petals place but I don’t think that would be accepted either since it seems to be catering and takeout and not a space to be social unless you can find more evidence than I did about its significance to the community. I think the billboard would either be rejected as a school or as a temporary advertisement. People have tried to submit hairdressers, but they are also hard to get accepted. The coffee shop might be your best choice, but I can’t tell which is the coffee shop.

Since you mentioned “Pokestops” in your first post, it looks like any individual shop you tried to submit would not be able to show up in Pokemon Go. The only part of the center that is in an L17 S2 cell by itself is the liquor store, and those are also ineligible. Here is a map of Ingress portals with an S2 cell grid overlay:

I didn’t think to copy and paste the advice here that I usually give people wanting to submit Pokestops because we had been talking about Wayspots. This is what I usually tell folks:

I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the Lightship database, which can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. This is a good article about S2 cells and PoGo: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

I’d say it’s still pretty marginal, but possible.

Try to avoid taking photos of the shooting range and liquor store, those would likely lead to rejection. It strikes me that you could get a good shot of the arches from an angle which would look architecturally interesting. Whichever, you’ve done a good job at minimising the cars and getting good light.

Thank you for all the help :slightly_smiling_face:
