Hello!
I submitted the portal, Niantic rejected it as inappropriate: "Unfortunately, our team has decided not to accept your Wayspot nomination.
Our team found it did not meet the criteria required to be accepted and has been rejected. This decision could be because of the title, description, location, photo, or a combination of criteria. For future nominations, please review our Wayspot criteria help articles to learn more about what makes a good Wayspot."
Could someone please explain what exactly does not meet the stated criteria?
This seems to just be a generic business sign. In other words, just a sign advertising a standard business. Wayspots need to be GREAT places to exercise, to explore or to socialize, not just places where those thing can happen.
One way I think about it is, if I had a friend from out of town, would I use the little time they were here and say “hey, let’s go see/explore/hang out at X.” Would you ask someone to go see the dentist sign?
If you have other places that you would like to submit, you can post them in Nomination Support and get advice from community members as to how to make the best submissions. Also, if you share your general area (not personal information), people will often look at the map and help you find things that might be eligible.
Good luck!
