My pokestop nomination is taking too much time to be approve. Its been sitting for more than a month now.
Hello and welcome,
First off, we are nominating Wayspots, not stops/gyms for PoGo. Approved Wayspots get added to the LIghtship map, which is used by all Niantic games for game play locations. Each Niantic game has its own density rules, with PoGo using S2 cells, and Ingress using a 20 meter rule. More info on S2 cells can be found here:
It’s not unusual for nominations to take this long to be decided upon; sometimes it can even take years. It all depends on the number of reviewers in your area. Unfortunately, Niantic doesn’t disclose how many votes are needed for resolution.
One thing that you can do to help is review nominations yourself! Reviewing helps keep the queue down, plus, you can earn upgrades that you can apply to nominations to expand the review area, which can help get it to a resolution sooner.
