Why was a gym removed. why???
Hello,
Unfortunately, as we have very little info as to where this gym was located, we can’t really say for sure, other than there could already be a full limit of 3 gyms per L14 S2 cells.
PoGo uses S2 cells for determining which Wayspots from Lightship show up as game play locations (except for Power Spots). L17 S2 cells are used to determine the number of stops, and L14 are used for gyms. More info can be found here:

Also, Wayfarer has nothing to do with deciding what Wayspots will or will not be in Niantic games, as each game uses a different density/inclusion rule. We can only guess as to why it may have been removed if we know more about the location.
Welcome to the forum @Valorraidgym
If you feel like a Wayspot was removed in error, you can post in Wayspot Appeals and ask them to reinstate it. You can give them evidence that the Wayspot exists and is in an appropriate location that does not warrant removal. The topic prompt there will tell you what information Niantic will need to respond to your request.
Niantic has been removing certain types of Wayspots for not meeting criteria, or others are removed because of player reports that they should be removed. Niantic investigates the player reports, and does not remove Wayspots without being convinced that they should be removed.
Welcome to the community,
It can be very confusing when a gym disappears from the game.
Can you give us some information about the gym, what and where it was.
We might be able to help.
