Wayspot Removal Denial - "Interior Farmacie Bila"

  • Wayspot Title: Interior Farmacie Bila

  • Location (lat/lon): 46.7583611, 23.5503056

  • City: Cluj-Napoca

  • Country: Romania

  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):

  • Additional Information (if any): Hi, the supposed pokestop is a bust inside a pharmacy seemingly sitting on a shelf in one of the corners, i have been inside the pharmacy and haven’t seen it. To the pharmacist, it looks like i may be checking their cameras, since im looking everywhere up around the room (so you’re welcome).
    I’d like to know why it got rejected. Thanks.

Did you provide proof it no longer exists?

Not yet, how would i go about providing that?

Geotagged photos, 360 video, scanivers splat etc.

photos inside the pharmacy?

You need to prove it no longer exists, so yes.

so how should i go about doing that :

  • i walk into the pharmacy, and explain to the women working there in their 40s-50s what pokemon go is and what a pokestop is and if they can let me potograph the entire room including them and the clients or
  • I walk into the pharmacy, start taking photos, get asked what the hell am i doing and then explain the whole ordeal, and be told i cant take photos inside?

Or unless someone wants to go through this hassle for free the non-existing pokestop will forever be immortalized in the game?

Can you understand where im coming from?

Matter of fact, why can you even have a pokestop inside a store?
I can take photos of the street and the pharmacy itself if you want!

Do not do anything you’re not confortable doing or might get you in trouble. Unfortunately the team needs to verify your claims are true nefore they can handle such requests otherwise anyone can get anything removed. Indoor nominations are allowed as they may still be great places to explore, exercise or socialize.

Makes sense, proof is needed, unfortunately the room is quite wide and it’s quite a popular pharmacy on this street, and you just can’t incospicuously take a video of the room, also i wouldn’t want to invade other’s privacy, or take a photo of them without their knowledge.

Then i guess maybe some courageous knight in shining armor is gonna go one day to the pharmacy and maybe he’ll do it. One more pokestop in the meantime i guess :person_shrugging: Thanks for your help

What if i report the pokestop for being unsuitable for AR experiences?
It is, because, again, it’s inside a pharmacy. People here only go to pharmacies to buy things they knew of before heading there, so they have to sit in line (not suitable for AR experiences because you don’t go past other people), and even if there isn’t currently a line, here, a respectful person doesn’t walk in a pharmacy for anything else other than inquiring for something, especially not to take a wide shot of the room including strangers at work and clients and then walk out.

That isnt a removal reason, likely, if anything, they would probably disable AR features for games.

I can report it as a unsuitable for AR experiences, what do you mean its not a reason? its the first one in the menu. What does the option refer to, then, or when is it used?

That doesnt mean it will be removed, as i said if anything they may disable AR features for that waypoint.

Hi, @samurel! Due to insufficient evidence, we’re unable to remove the Wayspot in question. If you have additional evidence to share like geotagged images or photospheres, please submit a new appeal with additional information and we’ll take another look.

Alright, i see the photo of the pokestop is a zoomed in photo of the bust, would a zoomed in photo of the same corner also suffice for removal proof?

Hello, i took two photos of the ceiling and the structures resembling the place where the football sized bust was placed. Hope these photos will suffice.

Shot 1

Shot 2

Pokestop photo for reference

This pokestop was created in 2016 or 2017; and keep in mind this bust can be picked up in the hand.

These ceiling structures continue behind the shot to the storefront of the pharmacy, which as seen on the google maps street view is made of large display windows.

This topic has had new evidence added to it and is linked to a fresh appeal as requested.
There is no need for any comments.
Comments not pertinent to the appeal have been deleted.
