Valid Portal Removal
Wayspot Title: Brincadeira De Criança
Location (lat/lon): -11.643855,-42.009189
City: Ibipeba, BA
Country: Brazil
Additional Information: The portal was recently dishonestly deleted, significantly harming the Resistance faction.
The portal is a vital element for our community, and its unfair exclusion needs to be reviewed and corrected.
This portal is one of the oldest in our state, it was sent by @bozreloaded on January 1, 2015 and approved by Niantic
The portal “Brincadeira De Criança” is a significant drawing located on the wall of Praça da Liberdade, in the city of Ibipeba, Bahia, Brazil. This square is a central point of the city and houses the Ibipeba Municipal Public Library, a cultural institution of great importance to the local community.
The square, where the mural is located, is a public space frequented by residents of all ages, being a meeting and coexistence point. The Municipal Public Library, which shares the space in the square, has an active profile on Instagram @bibliotecamunicipalibipeba, where it frequently shares photos and videos of activities and events held there. This profile serves as proof of the existence and relevance of the art drawn on the wall.
Photos and videos of the mural are available on the library’s official Instagram profile. These visual records prove the existence of the mural and its maintenance over time
We have photos and videos proving the existence of the drawing and the location.
Resistance agents have visited and interacted with this portal countless times.

Deleting the portal resulted in the loss of many keys that were distributed in several cities in Brazil, South America and other continents outside of America. The portal was frequently used in MU operations.

The portal is more than 500 km from the large city of Salvador. We require an investigation to identify and hold accountable players who may have dishonestly requested removal of the portal, damaging the integrity of the game and the community.
The perception that the exclusion was dishonest on the part of dishonest players generates demotivation and distrust among players, damaging the game’s integrity and community.
This is the government website where it shows the location of the Municipal Public Library of Ibipeba, where the drawing “Brincadeira De Criança” was drawn on the wall: http://www.fpc.ba.gov.br/2023/08/10/ibipeba/
This is the location on Google Maps where you can see the drawing on the wall, the trees are big so it’s not easy to see with google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/@-11.6440827,-42.0085038,3a,75.4y,292.67h,83.23t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sO_lqxavSSB1njpFvEYBKPQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu
In view of the arguments presented, we request the reinstatement of the “Brincadeira De Criança” portal to the Ingress portal network. We believe that its exclusion was unfair and disregards both its cultural importance and its gameplay value for Resistance agents. We hope that this defense will be considered seriously and that the “Child’s Play” portal will be reestablished, allowing it to continue to be a point of significant interaction and engagement for the gaming community and the city of Ibipeba.
