Hi guys, can you help me? I’m new to creating PokéStops and I’ve had my requests rejected twice so I’d like to know if it’s worth continuing. Tradičná drevená stavba so srdiečkom=title [image] [image] Trvalo osadená drevená stavba s výrazným srdcovým výrezom, verejne prístupná. Nejde o dočasný …

So, um. Would you call this a good place to socialize or to explore?

What purpose does this structure serve? Knowing this would help us give you the advice that you are requesting.

Hello @Robino025 As @darkersolstice , is trying to get at, it is unlikely that this structure would meet eligibility criteria. While I do believe it is a permanent structure this would be classified as common infrastructure. That is why it is being rejected for not being permanent and/or distinct. …

Thanks. I live in a small village with only one Pokéstop and nothing else nearby, so I tried nominating it. Your answer really helped me.

Thanks for your reply. I tried nominating it because I don’t have anything else in my village that could be used as a Pokéstop.

Can you give us the location of the village (not your home address, please, just the town center)? While an outhouse is not a suitable wayspot, some of us may be able to suggest other things in the area that you’ve perhaps overlooked.

Albínov but everything in the “centre” is alredy pokestop(we have 1 gym). I tried to nominate atleast 2 pokestops at the other end off the village to make gym but there is nothing that can be pokestop :smiling_face_with_tear:

Thanks for taking the time. The first one is already a PokéStop and the second one is on private property. But I just discovered one place that could definitely become a PokéStop just outside my village.just one more question can a bench near a cemetery become a pokestop.

Why was my pokestop rejected?

I understand that it can be challenging to find eligible wayspots. If you are comfortable sharing your village name it’s possible that folks here could offer some specific suggestions. Otherwise there is a good discussion here about rural areas.
