Theres a local shop that went out if buisness and another one replaced it that fits the criteria too. What do i do?
Remove the old one.
Add the new one.
My understanding is that repurposing the existing one is not allowed.
Yes, unfortunately, if a business has changed, you cannot update the info of the Wayspot to the new business, as Niantic may see that as possible abuse.
You will have to request removal of the old business, and then nominate the new business, as long as the new one meets criteria.
It’s not the best method, but that is currently what Niantic wants us to do. Many have tried to update the titles/descriptions to reflect what it now at the Wayspot, but they almost always get rejected, many times by ML.
Other wayfinders have written the same thing, but please delete the old wayspot and then nominate the new wayspot.
Although it has already become a piece of algae in the cyber space, I asked about a similar case in a previous Wayfarer forum, and the answer was that it is correct to delete the concerned wayspot.
