Why has my accepted pokestop not shown up yet?

I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the database. The Wayspot can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. This is a good article about S2 cells and PoGo: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

If you would like to leave the title and location, someone here can check if this is the issue. But do be aware this is a public forum if you would rather not reveal your location.

If it has just been accepted and you have not waited the 48 hours mentioned in the email, it could have just not synced in yet. Pokestops and gyms are updated once a day, except Mondays.

nvm, i found your nomination. it is at this red pin, so it is not eligible to show in pokemon go (or in ingress)

What are the odds of a gym being made out of one of the waypots near this failed wayspot?


by my count this L14 cell should already have 2 gyms in it. to get a third would require adding 12 more pokestops in the bigger grid.
