Why got my waypoint-proposal rejectec?

Please provide:

  • A screenshot of your nomination, including rejection reasons if it has already been rejected

  • Include the title, description, both photos, and supplemental information
    Feuerwehrhaus Kützkow

  • Copy and paste the title, description and supplemental so others can translate them
    I wrote the whole text in my proposal. Also the photos i took are in the proposal. I cant find my proposal anywhere to get the text and photos or to find out, what ist wrong with that.

The location is the only firefigther-house next in reach for the whole village and crucial for the people who live here. I cant understand, why this was rejected.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

The rejection criteria includes:

Location obstructs the driveways of emergency services or may interfere with the operations of fire stations, police stations, hospitals, military bases, industrial sites, power plants, or air traffic control towers

With the POI being the actual fire station, it may be logical to assume that the nomination falls within this rejection reason.

It is imperative to not use existing wayspots as basis for what currently is acceptable. Incorrect decisions, abuse, and other sources for game objects also exist that may not reflect the Wayfarer criteria. Consider reviewing the three sets of criteria for future references.

Hello @brandenburgerin

I can agree that this is an important location for your town it is not appropriate for Niantic Games. One on the things that make a wayspot ineligible is Obstructing Emergency Services (OES). Fire stations need to make sure that nothing is blocking their driveway so wayspots there are not accepted.

I’d recommend looking at the local churches and public parks and playgrounds if you haven’t already.

Hello,
thanks for your explanations. I understand, that such POIs are not suitable when ways have to be free and so on.

It is a bit annoying that there is no reason given in the rejection emails :confused:

The reasons are given on your contributions page Niantic Wayfarer

oh wow. i didnt saw / found that. thank you!!
