According to Niantic, and their reply to my resubmission, this is already a wayspot. But we don’t get to have it as a pokestop? Whats the deal? - Wayspot Title:Roseburg-Shobu Sister Cities - Location _(lat/lon)_:43.212666,-123.340081 - City:Roseburg, Oregon - Country:USA - Screenshot of the Rejection Email _(do not include your personal information)_: - Additional Information _(if any)_:It should be able to be one as it lies at the opposite end of the library building. If this was denied by other voters, you don’t know Roseburg. If its in Ingress, no one plays that here. Our pokemon go community is trying to add more places in our game, so please stop stifling rural towns. Lattitude and longitude are approximate from google maps. ---

Hi @S0rrynaughtsry Welcome to the forum 🤗 I’ve moved your topic to #Nomination Support so the community can try to help sort things out. Our category #Wayspot Appeals is to ask for reinstating removed wayspots or for rejected removal reports. ---

It’s in the same Level 17 S2 Cell as “Shakespeare Quote”. Only one Pokéstop or Gym can be present in a Level 17 S2 Cell, so if Shakespeare Quote is a Pokéstop or Gym, it’s preventing the wayspot (which is in the database as “Sister Cities Monument”) from appearing in Pokémon Go. On another note, I noticed you have two identical wayspots called “Dedicated to Joyce Morgan” in this area. One of them is obviously inaccurate, but I’ve not checked to see which one is correct and which one isn’t. You may wish to report the inaccurate one. ![Screenshot_20250326-064159](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/5/6/567fb1dea340ad2bd53539a4ade77b4caf6929e2.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20250326-064208](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/7/d/7d02e22f31f7df7257d20aa89d3de128f7f6ff29.jpeg) ---

Also, this isn’t in Ingress either, as it wasn’t approved. It’s not on the database map, and it has to be approved to be on the map in order to be considered as a game play location. I certainly understand wanting more Wayspots in rural areas, but the density rules do have to be followed, and the map must be accurate. This L17 S2 cell already has 3 Wayspots in it, so unfortunately, per the PoGo rules, another stop will not be added, even if you do get this nomination approved. If you would like more info on how S2 cells work in PoGo, please see the following link: [https://pokemongohub.net/post/featured/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/](https://pokemongohub.net/post/featured/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/) We also have a good thread going with tips on what to nominate in rural areas that you may be interested in: > [@Tips for Rural Nominators](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/tips-for-rural-nominators/137): > > Tips for Rural Nominators: Look for things that meet the guidelines that tend to be in rural areas: Churches Fraternal orders and veteran outposts Eligible points of interest AT churches, veterans posts, etc. Look for picnic shelters, ball fields, prayer gardens, Little Free Libraries, and religious sculptures and shrines.

Ah, didn’t look around, just went to the lat/long provided. It’s in the cell next to it, to the west.
