Hi, everyone. I applied for a pokestop on September 20, 2024, and then niantic wayfarer accepted my pokestop on September 21, 2024, but when I went online to play the game, I didn’t see the pokestop I applied for successfully? Although I was notified there that it might take 48 hours to appear, it took 3-4 days and there was still no pokestop. So is this a bug? Or do I have to reapply?
Not a bug. Though you read the 48 hours part you missed;
Remember that not all accepted nominations will appear in all Niantic games
The games say you’re nominating a PokéStop/Portal but really you’re nominating a Wayspot which may become one or both of those if it meets the games inclusion criteria.
If you’re happy sharing the location, more insight can be provided as to why it didn’t become a PokéStop
Hello and welcome @GCKH
If you feel comfortable do provide the title of the wayspot and it’s exact location - co ordinates work best and can be found on your email confirming submission.
Unfortunately the likelihood is that although your submission has been accepted as a wayspot, it may not met the inclusion rules to be selected into Pokemon Go. But if we have the details we can check.
The inclusion rule for Pokemon Go only allows one Pokestop/gym per level 17 S2 cell. Not being alone in one is usually the reason an accepted Wayspot will not become a Pokestop or gym. This article explains these cells:
Your Wayspot may be used in other games though, or even as a Powerspot in Pogo now.
If you resubmit, the nomination will just be marked “duplicate” since the Wayspot already exists.

Ya, it feels like a pity since pokestop doesn’t appear in Pokémon Go.
But thank u for your answer.
