This appears to be vandilism as opposed to sanctioned art. You can read more about whats allowed or not here.

The way spot was approved by the Wayfarer community, I proposed it. During 3 years was a part of some Niantic games as portal. Was deleted and I resubmitted it and was approved newly. Please note that the community accepted it two times because the community consider it inside the graffiti category.

@cnelwekurtz

Please note that the community accepted it two times because the community consider it inside the graffiti category.

The list of categories that you can select when uploading a nomination are not a list of eligible things. In fact, there are many ineligible categories on that list.

Unfortunately, in South America especially, a lot of graffiti gets incorrectly accepted when it shouldn’t do. As @RoIi112 has linked to, there is a clarification on what is and isn’t allowed when it comes to stuff like graffiti, and to me this looks like it would be on the ineligible side of things.

Of course, the rules where changed, today there are new rules. Please delete all thousands of graffiti in the world if a graffiti is not a category and please update the menu in Pokemon Go for not show “Graffiti”. There are a problem with the management of change: The game show 'Graffiti" but is not a category. And because we are in the “gray area” please consider the return of this way spot.

[RoIi112]

The rules have not changed, this has always been true. The category menu doesnt need updating because its not a list of eligible items, its a list for niantics cateforizing.

I find the category inside of Wayfarer, you are wrong

[RoIi112]

Like i said the category is for niantic internal to use once applied. They are in no way representing what is eligible or not.

The category options have nothing to do with criteria. It even lists “Elementary schools” which are specifically ineligible. I believe these categories are meant for other uses of the Lightship database besides Niantic games. The nomination flow for Ingress does not even include choosing a category.
