This nomimatiom was rejected by EML (The Niantic wayfarer Bot), we don’t exactly know how EML works. But we have noticed that it doesn’t like certain things. Try taking the main photo closer to the sign so that it does not show the other things around the sign, I think this is what makes EML reject it, but as I said, we don’t exactly know how EML works.
A closer main picture I would try, the rest of the community probably has some advice as well for you.

A wayspot needs to be:
- A place to explore
- A place to exercise, or
- A place to socialise
I don’t see this nomination fitting well into either of those three categories, if you think it’s a good place to socialise then that really needs to be stressed in the nomination.

There Is also the unique shop category
That’s not a separate category of eligibility. It comes under “a great place for exploration”.
Did you explain in your supporting information how it falls under this?
All I can guess at without translations in your supporting information is that you’re saying it’s visible on Streetview
It says this in the description:
Laboratorio velico che si occupa di riparare e manutenzione barche o attrezzatura sportiva per kait e windsurf, e con i pezzi di scarto creano degli oggetti artigianali come scarpe e vestiti.
this particular place has no other similar place in my region, so yeah it s a place to explore, plus i saw shop a enormous amount of normal shop, because techincally it they fit the guidelines, it dosent make sense to interpret it in negative, if it respect the guidelines what are the problems
I would not vote to approve this if i saw it in review. A repeair shop is not a place i would like to explore. For me, stores that meet the explore criteria usually sell prodicts that are culturally linked to the area.
For example, in the Bahamas there is a really cool family owned shop that makes products out of the canvas that is typically used for sails. Each product has a patch on it proclaiming the shop name and their location. That is a unique local store, IMO.
It s literally the same, the do reparation AND they make like shoes ,dresses starting from windsurf Gear and in the locale community it Is linked to the the kaitsurfing world Cup in The city of Gizzeria
Do you have any link that discusses this shop?
I believe that you should submit an appeal on the basis that your nomination is a great place to be social with others.
You will need to be able demonstrate why your nomination is important to the local wind surfing / sailing community and is not just a generic business. Does the business provide essential equipment and expert advice, foster a sense of community, and contribute to the local economy and tourism? Does the business serve as a vital hub for both beginners and experienced windsurfers / sailors offering a space for learning, purchasing gear, and connecting with other enthusiasts?
Other things that might help you plead your case…. How many followers does the business have on Instagram / Facebook? Are there any review rating scores (such as Google) for the business? Include a link to their website so that the reviewers can get a better feel for what the business does,
Good luck with your appeal.
