I received an email saying my nomination was approved on January 21, but the PokéStop still hasn’t appeared. Do you know when it will be added?
Hey @rugyeol2 ,
Thank you for submitting a Wayspot nomination! While some nominations may be deemed eligible by the community of reviewers on Niantic Wayfarer for inclusion into Niantic’s location database, they may not necessarily be added into every Niantic game. After a nomination is approved by reviewers, there is an additional automated review that determines whether the nomination is an appropriate fit for each particular Niantic game. Each game has their own set of criteria for this step, so some nominations may be accepted into one game but not another.
The most common reason that an eligible nomination is not added to Pokémon GO is because the nomination is too close to existing PokéStops or Gyms. If an existing game location is removed or the criteria changes, the nomination may appear within Pokémon GO at a later time.
Please keep in mind that while this is a common reason, it is not the only one.
Best,
Hello and welcome @rugyeol2
There have been recent problems with wayspots appearing but this sounds outside of that timeframe. It may be that it wasn’t selected by Pokémon Go, due to their rules about distance apart.
Can you provide the location and we will have a look.

Hello,
If I have the correct location the second photo shows a close by pokestop that is blocking yours becoming a stop.
This is because of the inclusion rules that Pokémon Go uses to space out pokestops and gyms.
The details about what the community has observed and worked are in this article

Essentially only 1 wayspot can be used in the diamond shaped box on the photos I have included.
Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done.
