Appeal to Convert Approved Rural Wayspot into a Permanent Gym

[hankwolfman]

I’ve had a look. What you’re experiencing is not an error.

There are three wayspots in this location: “গ্রামীণ উন্মুক্ত ঈদগাহ মেইন গেট” (which is the subject of this post), “বটতলা খেলার মাঠ” (which is the Pokéstop in your screenshot), and “গ্রামীণ উন্মুক্ত ঈদগাহ মেহরাব চত্বর” (which isn’t eligible to appear in Pokémon Go at all).

All three of these wayspots are in the same level 17 S2 Cell. Each level 17 S2 Cell can only contain a single Pokéstop or Gym, and as stated, “বটতলা খেলার মাঠ” is the Pokéstop for this level 17 S2 Cell. This means the other two wayspots I mentioned cannot become Pokéstops. You can read more about this here:

Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)

I have this written up for when I see a wheresmypokestop question. I know the in-game prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the database. The Web Submit form does use the word “wayspot” instead. The Wayspot can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. The S2 cell use has not been officially confirmed as far as I am aware, but staff has acknowledged there is an additional step after acceptance. This is a good…

You can see that your nomination is eligible to be used as a Power Spot though, as whilst it is in an occupied level 17 S2 cell, it is at least 22 metres away from any Pokéstops or Gyms.
