I’ve already made some requests for PokéStops, but some weren’t accepted, even though they exist in the location where I place them. However, because the map isn’t updated, it’s difficult for some of them to be accepted in my region.I’ve already made some requests for PokéStops, but some weren’t accepted, even though they exist in the location where I place them.

Just existing is not enough to be accepted as a Wayspot. Here is a link with all the criteria. Be sure to read all four links:

If you post a rejected nomination, we can try to advise you on whether it can be improved. Using the Web Submit form instead of the in game process will allow you to submit extra supporting photos to give more frame of reference that the point of interest is where you say it is, if that is the actual problem. It may be some other reason that they are being rejected.
