Wayspot removal appeal

• Wayspot Title: Indigenous Artwork

• Location (lat/lon): -34.873105,138.524241

• City: Cheltenham

This is a mural painted on a stobie pole ( electricity pole) of which thousands have already been included in Niantic games.
Although this particular artwork in not a traditional western painting, it is an great example of local indigenous Aboriginal painting and as such has great cultural significance.
These murals are great for exploration and I know many players as I do myself will walk further or even drive to new areas and then walk to spin and obtain these murals. They make excellent gifts to send and this particular mural would be even a better gift for overseas players as it depicts a truly Australian art form.

That’s a weird response, why even move the location if it doesn’t meet criteria and you’re going to remove it anyway?

They keep deleted wayspots in the database, presumably in case they ever need to be undeleted. So now it will be in the correct location if it gets restored.
