Dear Niantic Team,

I would like to respectfully appeal the removal of the portal titled “Ntra. Sra. Virgen de la Fuensanta”. This portal was located on a ceramic tile image of the Patron Saint of Sabadell mounted on the facade of a building in Sabadell, Spain.

This image represents the Virgen de la Fuensanta, the patron saint of Sabadell, and holds deep cultural and religious significance for the community. Every year, a traditional pilgrimage (romería) is held in her honor, during which the image of the Patron Saint of Sabadell is paraded through the streets of the city. The location of the former portal is along the official route of this pilgrimage, making it an important cultural landmark tied to local tradition.

This ceramic depiction is a permanent, visually distinctive feature embedded in public view on a residential facade. As such, it meets the criteria for a good portal candidate: it is a culturally significant object, visually unique, safely accessible from a pedestrian sidewalk, and serves as a gathering and reference point during a long-standing local celebration.

Given its cultural relevance, historical continuity, and public visibility, I kindly request the restoration of this portal as it enriches the portal network and reflects the local heritage of Sabadell.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Takei3

Hello and welcome @takei3

You have explained the significance well in putting your case.
However it does appear to be on a single family private residential property SFPRP

The outer wall is still considered to be SFPRP.
Unfortunately this is likely to mean your appeal will not be sucessful.

Hi, @takei3! It looks like we haven’t gotten to this request yet or it hasn’t been submitted through in-game. At this time, we only take appeals to overturn decisions we’ve already made.

Hi. This is a portal that has been removed. It was approved years ago and has been recently removed.

Hi,
If you went through the full recon process for removal that is all good for Spatial.
You need to follow the Wayfarer process of reporting if you wish to ensure it gets removed from wayfarer database.
They are 2 completely separate companies and databases now.

Hi, What I am asking is for the portal to be reinstated on the network, not removed from Wayfarer. The portal was recently removed.

Sorry, apologies I was distracted.
You need to go to Recon wayfarer has no influence over portals in ingress.

For gyms/pokestops in Pokemon Go, you need to first submit an appeal and wait for it to be accepted or denied by Scopely

For portals in Ingress, you need to use Recon from Niantic Spatial.

There is no longer any connection between Ingress and Pokemon, beyond having inherited the same map a couple of months ago.
