Wayspot duplicate

Hello. A wayspot got rejected with the reason “duplicate” but in PoGo or Ingress doesnt appear.
When I Tried to make the proposal I saw a lot of wayspot in the zone but none of them are in the game (both). How its possible ? Its possible solve this ?

Welcome to the forum @Fabio2896

Each of Niantic’s games has proximity rules that determine whether a wayspot can be added to that specific game or not. This is typically the reason why some wayspots end up as Lightship only wayspots, though it’s not the only reason.

As you’ve said it doesn’t appear in both Ingress and Pokémon Go, let’s start with Ingress. If there’s an Ingress Portal on the map within 20 metres of the wayspot, then it will block the wayspot from being added to Ingress.

As for Pokémon Go, you should read this to get a better understanding of the proximity rules in Pokémon Go.

Welcome to the forum! In addition to what hankwolfman said, you can check for these Wayspots that don’t show in either game by turning on the toggle on the nomination map screen in Pokemon Go. It only works when you are right at the location, and has been broken recently, but will show you these hidden Wayspots as exclamation points. Something like this:

If you want to give one of the locations, we can check and see if it is due to the level 17 S2 cell rules for Pokemon Go and/or 20 m rule for Ingress.

Another possible but less likely reason for Wayspots not to show in the games is property owner request for them to be removed.

Hello! Thanks both for the explanation. These are the coords (45.0840318, 7.4373163).
From the game (PoGo) I see a lot of wayspots


But no one appear

This is the only wayspot showing in the lightship database.
So it’s a bit of puzzle as to what is happening here.
Sometimes owners request that they don’t want wayspots in the database.
Could we see your submission please?

This is my request.
It say duplicate and its true. But there are a lot of wayspot too and its weird no one become wayspot, not even in lightship

Hello! Maybe it was marked as a duplicate of an import for powerspots? Maybe you can go to the place and check with Pokémon GO as now it seems you can see the powerspots in the area.

Ah so you appealed this submission.
Was the original submission rejected by the automatic system - it would say “our team” in the email and happen quickly, or by the community?

I dont think, i cant see a power spot for this but only for other activities, or better, non in this location, close but non here. And anyway even before powerspot not a pokestop was here

Community

The orange pins showing are all imported data points. They have the potential to be powerspots.
Does one of them show as the bowling location.

Have no powerspots appeared here yet?
If they have do you know which ones?

It was opening last day, but it Wasnt in the Bowling Location. The name wasnt showed yet.
The other powershots are not close to the Bowling

Although not in the correct location is there another one of the orange pins which is called by t name of the bowling pkace.

So if there is a powerspot cant be the chance to have a pokestop ? Its sad because whole zone can have only powershot and not any pokestop then

Sorry I don’t know the answer just trying to understand the situation.

@NianticAaron @NianticAtlas
Is it possible to say what has happened here please.

I mean, its not possible make a Pokestop if there is already a Powerspot, right?

It is possible if is reviewed by the Community or ML. What I don’t know if it’s possible when is reviewed by the Team.

We don’t know what it duplicated to so unless the team can share more information we can only speculate.
