Hi I recently submitted a waypoint and it got approved , it’s been a week an it doesn’t appear in any niantic game , anyone know why that happened ?
Welcome to the forum @D0oMDiveR
This is usually due to the secondary conditions required for a Wayspot to become a portal (20 meter rule) or a Pokestop/gym (alone in an L17 S2 cell). If you would like to give the gps coordinates, we can check these issues for you.

Oh , ok thanks !
yeah here are the coordinates
(38.1377214, 23.7414990)
So if it’s the s2 Lvl17 rule , no matter how many other waypoints I nominate and get accepted none of them will appear ?

I think this shows that the coordinates you gave are inside the 20meter circle of at least one other portal and inside the same L17 S2 cell as Metal Water fall. So this appears to be working as intended.
This is iitc with a pogotools overay, so is only showing portals. I don’t have access to a map of all Wayspots.
I switched the background so it would be easier to see the lines. There are plenty of empty cells around the area.
If you find something to submit that is not in the same one, it will show.
Since I confuse some people, I want to be clear that the point of interest must exist irl in the empty cell. You can’t just put the pin there if it isn’t really there. That is abuse.

Yeah , it’s a big building with plenty of exhibits, I just hope they won’t get rejected from the bot
A word of caution about exhibits. You want to make sure the exhibit is not temporary. You need some kind of proof that the location is the permanent home for whatever is being displayed.
I don’t know what museum this is, but i think of permanent installations like the Egyptian temple at The Met in NYC or the Elgin Marbles at the British Museum (assuming those aren’t ever surrendered).
