My nomination for a big mural of Nils Holgersson got rejected for “being in a school zone”(?)

No, the mural is not inside a school zone. It is on the WALL on the BACK of the school. To add on, the primary school isnt even in use anymore and hasnt been for the past 5 years. Even after briefly explaining that in my appeal, they still rejected it doubling down on their invalid point of it being on an education facility. Below I will show a video of the “school” all around.

I really just want the community’s opinion too.

If any Niantic moderator sees this, just perchance, I can forward a pre-recorded video of me showing the “school” all around (I knew this would happen)

Welcome to the forums 🙂

Anything on or attached to the external boundary of a school is explicitly ineligible.

If this property is no longer a school, you will need to provide proof, not just say this.

I have seen someone successfully post a video here, but I can’t remember how they did it. it might have been a link to something hosted somewhere else, but it might not have been. Sorry!

The location coordinates would be useful.

Does a google drive work for you? I tried uploading to Streamable but took too long so I just exit.

You could just upload a YouTube short.

To reiterate - if the wayspot is inside the school or attached to the outside (e.g. wall, fence etc) then it’s ineligible. Mentioning “school” in your submission may also trigger the automatic filters, so I would start with finding out the current status of the building and working with that.

I want to bring up the fact that it is no longer a school, again. It hasnt been used in half a decade and will never be used again.

Well yes, but you need to convince reviewers of that.

I hope this is enough. Let me know what else you need, I could get more info with other locals’ help.

I’ve looked at the coordinates and cannot see anything there looking remotely like a school. The building that this mural is on the back of looks like it is probably abandoned, but I am very surprised anyone thought it was a school. I can’t even see it marked on OSM and it definitely isn’t marked on Google maps.

I’ve watched the video and although something that is further away from the building would work better, this does very strongly indicate this is not a school.

It’s not marked because it was never registered as a valid, verified school in the system viable for every student. Whenever I finished there, they also migrated into a bigger city. It was never permanent, and now just exists there as an event center.

One solution is to forget the mural and submit two wayspots:

One for the playground (same cell as the mural)  
One for the octagonal structure that is to the north of the playground (in a different cell)

Whole square itself is the park. Under the name Nikos Samaras, it’s been known for it to entirely be one single park.

Ouh so, you cant have two spots in one cell?

The park is covered by three S2 L17 cells and has the potential for more than one wayspot.

The park itself could be a wayspot and features within it (the playground, the octagonal structure, a hexagonal covered seating area on the western edge) are separately eligible.

This would give you three pokestops and one powerspot.

You can have multiple wayspots in a cell, but (normally) only one would be used as a pokestop/gym. Extras will often be used as powerspots on rotation, so still have value.

The red and green lines are the cell boundaries. You can use these to choose where to locate things _when there is a legitimate choice of location_.

I’ve already submitted the wooden kiosk you see on the side, the octagonal structure does not feature anything worthy. It was used for displaying a community christmas tree and or decorations for any holiday. It is no longer used now. In that outer cell, I’ve requested a park sign aswell, which you dont see

Also, an issue I find is that the Peter Pan mural that got accepted is inside the green cell IN the now assumed “school zone”
