Hey everyone!

I’m fairly new to submitting things to Wayspot, and though I believe that I generally understand the rules and criteria, almost all of my nominations get rejected. Sometimes it’s a little hard to figure out what I’m doing wrong because there isn’t always an explanation for the rejection; and in this specific case I honestly believe this stop would be a useful one for the people who visit the area. Is the title not specific enough because it’s just the name of the store chain? Is it because I missed to highlight that it’s not a generic business? Should the description be more detailed? Or is just the spot itself useless and it’s me who sees too much value into it? I’d like to improve my knack for this because it’s starting to become a new hobby of mine, hunting for future Wayspots/Pokéstops is fun!

Thank you for any feedback you’ll be giving me!

Welcome to the forum @Eatyourbr3d

Being useful for tourists isn’t one of the eligibility criteria. The eligibility criteria are that somewhere needs to be a great place to socialise, a great place to exercise, or a great place to explore. A luggage locker isn’t really any of those three things, and that’s likely why the machine learning rejected it.

Oh, thank you for your answer, that’s fair. I emphasized the tourist-part mostly because of course no local would need a locker, but someone who’s new and wants to explore the area would. It’s right on the corner of a walking street full of restaurants, shops and bars which is a huge point of interest. But yeah, I can see that the stop itself doesn’t necessarily carry the same advantage with it. Thank you for your help!
