Location marked as duplicate, but this location does not have a pokestop

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

• Wayspot Title: Câmara Municipal de Carapebus

• Location (lat/lon): -22.187279726042618, -41.66150799061498

• City: Carapebus - Rio de Janeiro

• Country: Brasil

• Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):

• Additional Information (if any):

• Additional Information (if any): Here’s my situation: I submitted a public location accessible to the entire population, which is the City Council of my municipality, where the city’s legislative body operates, and where people can or cannot interact with the city’s representatives. The community marked the location as a duplicate. However, if you open the game and check the PokéStops in the area, there is no PokéStop corresponding to the City Council, so it cannot be considered a duplicate location. I will attach screenshots from the game and images of the location to verify this information. It cannot be a duplicate if the PokéStop does not exist where it should be.

In red is the Location (lat/lon) I filled in above and where the PokeStop should be. This gym next door is another public spot in the city, so it’s not the same one. Just to make it even clearer.

City council and the location where the pokestop should be. Pictured above.

Next door is the gymnasium, which is the city’s other public point, which is the city’s cultural station. :

Hello and welcome,

There is already a Wayspot for Câmara Municipal de Carapebus, however, since it’s in a L17 S2 cell that’s already occupied, it doesn’t meet inclusion to be in PoGo. It’s in the same cell as Estação Trem de Carga Carapebus.

PoGo uses S2 cells to determine which Wayspots will be added to the game, with 1 Wayspot allowed per L17 S2 cell. If you would like to know more about this, please see the following link:

When you are on the nomination map, do make sure the toggle is on to show all Wayspots currently on the map, as this will help prevent submitting duplicates in the future.

Hello @Ev3rt0n1405

It’s difficult to know where posts should be made, but this appeals section is for specific reasons which yours doesn’t match.
I am moving this to nomination support.
