The “小金沢町第六生産緑地” is 25.75 meters off, and the “ 大金沢町第四生産緑地” is 5.17 meters off. Whether these deviations are acceptable as tolerable errors is at the discretion of the Wayfarer team. And above all, if the reason for deletion was that it was private farmland, I must submit proof refuting that to restore the Wayspot. That’s why I asked the first four questions.

I see, I finally understand your point.
In that case, I don’t think there’s any need to debate the significance of Production Green Spaces.
While I do want to restore the PokéStop, if the reason for its removal was due to the stake or the landowner’s decision, then I understand that as unavoidable. My only remaining question is why, in this particular location, this happened, while stakes and Production Green Spaces in other areas or nearby are still successfully used as PokéStops.
From what I found, many Production Green Spaces are used as Gyms or other Wayspots, and especially in rural areas, these kinds of spots are often the only important local facilities. Personally, I still believe that some automated process may have filtered this one out. Even if this land is privately owned rather than city-owned, I find it unlikely that the elderly people who own these rural lands are aware of what a Wayspot is.
Even if they weren’t elderly, the area is so large and sparsely populated that most people probably wouldn’t even know that this place is designated as a PokéStop.
Thank you for the constructive conversation.
Wayspots don’t get removed by any automated/filtering process. Niantic do not go through the database to see what is not eligible.
They may have been reported, either by someone physically there or someone who saw them while reviewing something else. An amendment might have been submitted (location, title, description) and the staff reviewing this might have taken other actions.

Hey @GUTSTEACHER , welcome to the Wayfarer Community Forum. I have looked into the location and made some adjustments. Once the changes get synced, you should see the eligible Wayspots appear in the Niantic games.
Regards,
