Me? Have you read my other message? This is not a broken rule. I mist to say again quote=“agueau, post:8, topic:34641”]
Most of catholic outside Mediterranean frescos and sculptures are in private buildings but for the view of the public, not as a private access…I mean, most of graffiti are the same too…in public buildings they

Is the fresco on a single family residence or an apartment building? If it’s on an apartment building it could be acceptable, but single family homes aren’t eligible. If it is indeed on a multi-family building you could appeal or re-submit with information demonstrating that. In some places you may be able to find proof online via a municipal website. Another way to show this is to include in the supporting photo that there’s a doorbell for different units located outside.
In some places graffiti is legal and even encouraged. Some places grant certain legal protections to graffiti art and graffiti artists. You may not like it but that’s just how the cookie crumbles. That said, random vandalism is not considered eligible. The criteria clarification collection explains it in this post:

As for most Mediterranean frescos being on single family homes, I haven’t had this experience. I’ve found them on a variety of buildings ranging from condominiums to churches to dentists offices to cafes. I live in a major city though, so our experiences will undoubtedly vary. Of course there are some on private single family homes, but those ones are not considered valid Wayspots. It doesn’t matter if the intention is for the public to admire it. I could put a statue on my mother’s fence for everyone to enjoy and that wouldn’t make it eligible because it’s on the property of a private single family residence. Likewise a mural on a single family residence isn’t considered eligible either, even though it would otherwise. The single family residential rule trumps other questions of eligibility.
It comes down to whether or not the art in question is on a single family residential property or not. If you spot one on a multi-family building or a church or something else that isn’t a single family home, nominate it, it could be a great Wayspot. If you’re not sure, do some digging. I had one approved a couple weeks ago that was on a deconsecrated religious building that’s been converted into apartments. Part of the Wayfarer experience is to discover new things about your community as you explore. Not everything discovered while Wayfaring will be eligible, not everything eligible will be approved, and not everything approved will show up in every game. That’s part of the process.
If you’d like some help with finding potential Wayspots in your area, folks on this forum are glad to help, myself included. However most of the users here are simply fellow users/players and we don’t make the rules for which Wayspots are eligible and which aren’t. We are simply explaining what the rules are and trying to help each other.
Im into art theory and public space arts, I live of that….you use your subjective thoughts and a game company protocol as theory to talk about art, so funny hahahaha
PD to talk about art you must to study about art, and watch it. This forum is more unbelievable than twitter omg.
Which part of my explaining the eligibility requirements was subjective? I’m happy to explain the requirements it to you again if that will help. Otherwise, you may find more luck in debating what qualifies as art with your fellow art scholars in a different venue.
I think you need to post in your native language and use the translate button to read other posts in your native language. You dont seem to understand the conversation.
University is not scholar. Talk about Pokémon and I will do about art.
As I said, if you’d like the discuss art history, theory, technique, appreciation, etc., you may find a more willing and receptive audience in another forum dedicated to that subject. This forum is for Wayfarer. Again, I’m more than happy to re-explain if you need help. I can also write this again in Italian if that’s one of the six languages you understand, if that will help you out. Otherwise, being flippant and otherwise disrespectful repeatedly to those who are attempting to help you is likely not going to get the result you’re hoping for. Best of luck in your adventures!
I’m not Italian… 
How about we talk about wayfarer?
I’m going to give you some advice that a friend gave me, never do anything in the description about pokestops. [redacted]
Edited post.
Hello and welcome @adrianstrokes
It is better not to make comments related to any game in nomination ( unless it is the subject of the nomination).
I have edited your post to remove derogatory comments about some wayfinders. We try to ensure that people in here are all treated with respect and we are all fellow wayfinders.
@NvlblNm I decided to remove your post as after the edit it no longer had any context and would be misread.
Although beautiful , if it is attached to the wall of a private dwelling then it is not appropriate
I find some of these rules do have gray areas. Example: The rules say that cemeteries are inappropriate, yet most in my region are accepted. As to the rule about being attached to a private residence, this one strikes me as acceptable. It’s not obvious that this is a private residence; in fact, this may be an apartment building or a building with multiple sections for multiple families, this section maybe not owned by the residents living behind it. This is not some slap-dash artwork; it took a fair amount of effort to prepare it, as well as frame it, as well as mount it. Now, if this is a common type of artwork, I would tend to reject it. Furthermore, it’s obvious that there is public access right up to the very edge of the building, so if a reviewer is concerned about public access, they should not. While I wrestled with this after having a few dozen accepted and a few rejected, I would accept it, as a quality stop.
as you said this is a building made up of multiple families, technically it is not owned by them.
The private residential property rule is not one of those grey areas. It has been very specifically clarified and that clarification has been stated multiple times. If the property is a single family private residence (so not apartments/flats), then anything on that property is ineligible. The property is defined as the actual residence, the grounds (garden/yard) and everything up to and including the property boundary. So if something is on the outward facing side of the property boundary, it’s still on the property, and it’s therefore not eligible. It doesn’t matter if you can reach it or interact with it from the street, it’s still on private residential property and therefore ineligible.
Got it. So what is this? An apartment/flat?
So I’d allow it.
Well i have seen plenty of such stops and gyms on single family private property here. I recently moved to a slightly larger town that has only two stops close by so i went around and have submitted 6 new places. Of those 6, two got rejected less than an hour after being submitted one i understand as it is kinda close to one of the stops and how Niantic does the stops for POGO, wich is stupid as i can log into Ingress and submit them there, wait two or so years and they would be approved and turned into stops as Ingress doesn’t have the same restrictions on closeness as POGO does. But whatever makes no difference really. The other one that was rejected makes no sense whatsoever as there are about 15 stops of the same exact thing in the main city about 10K away for here. And that is of a normal park bench withoit anything remarkable about it though the one i did submit is considered a local art piece. The omly thing it had that could be going against it is it looks like it is on private property thought where it sits was donated to the town some 30 years ago by the one that made it.
But the main thing i don’t understand is why some places have 5 or more gyms right on top of one another but we can’t submit a stop that is 2 to 3 times as far away from the next stop or gym. It makes small town and villages hard to get more stops and gyms. I mean Niantic wants us to go explore yet when there is only a handfull og stops and with luck a gym and all are in towm.center ontop of one another but the village is so small that any other place that is submitted is to close to one of the “grandfathered” in stops/gyms that Niantic wont allow you to add more it is unfair to players that don’t live in major Metropolitan areas.
If you want to complain about Pokémon GO’s inclusion rules, do so in their app.
You can nominate Wayspots wherever they are. 1m away from another one, if you have two eligible things that close.
It’s then up to the games to take them in and apply their inclusion rules.
