There are 2 specific submissions that are always rejected without a reason, especially when they meet the criteria 100%

The first submission is a rare & historical postbox due to the Monarchs reign during WWII. There’s only 4 in existence in my “town” in London. The other 3 King George VI Post boxes are Pokestops.

The second submission is a community hub, specifically focusing on community mental health & wellbeing.

I genuinely don’t understand why these are being rejected, including the appeals.the maps are correct too.

(Not to mention the “duplicate” rejections when they’re not duplicates)

Hi and welcome!

There is a great whole topic regarding UK postboxes. We’ve seen that most older ones usually get accepted. Personally I disagree that they should be accepted, as they are indeed just street infrastructure, and there are hundreds if not thousands of them in the UK (even the older ones).

But I’m sure the UK wayfarers at this forum can help you on how to submit these.

The community hub is probably declined as a sensitive location.

Hello and welcome @FazLu888

There is a whole long topic about our postboxes

> [@UK Postboxes Topic](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/uk-postboxes-topic/174/):
>
> Originally posted on the Niantic Wayfarer Vanilla forums in March 2023 and has had minor updates One thing that people in the UK seem to enjoy [citation needed] discussing is our various postboxes which are marked with royal cyphers, so I wanted to look at a few things. I am not asking for clarifications or a yes/no, despite posting here, but thought it was probably the right place for it and to try and make some kind of timeline of threads that discuss it, and some details about official view…

The main issue will be getting them beyond the auto check system ( nickname Emily) it often rejects them after 22-24 hours.  
Most U.K.reviewers will accept.  
For the second one can you post the full nomination please including location so we can look at further to advise.  
Does that also get rejected by Emily or the community? And what rejection reason do you get.

I don’t think anyone picked up on this yet. When you say they are not duplicates do you think this as they are not in Pokémon GO? The games all use inclusion rules differently to pull from the database of Wayspots so they already exist there but not meet the rules to be included in Pokémon GO, so they would still be duplicates as the database already has a Wayspot for the point of interest even if it doesn’t show on Pokémon GO

Have a look at [Niantic Wayfarer](https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/mapview) for these locations.

It is very likely that these already have wayspots, but the wayspots are not used by Pokemon Go due to the inclusion rules.
