The pokestop I nominated and was approved was not showing after almost a month. I tried to nominate again and found out it was used in other wayspot niantic games. I primarily nominated it for a pokestop. Would it eventually show up as pokestop in pokemon go? ---

Good day and welcome to the forum! This article may explain why this is the case: > [@Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/why-an-accepted-wayspot-may-not-be-used-in-pokemon-go-s2-cells-and-pokemon-go/106925): > > 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… Each game chooses which wayspots are used and how according to their developer’s designs. ---

If after having read the information you would like to provide the GPS co ordinates of the wayspot we will be happy to explain further about this spot. Do feel free to ask further questions. ---

Hello and Welcome, It will be stated in the excellent link posted above but just to confirm. Being used in other Niantic Games does not stop it being used in Pokemon Go. Due to each game having it’s own Proximity Rules each “Waypoint” (which is what you are actually nominating even though it states “Pokestop” when nominating through Pokemon Go) can be used in all games, some games or no games. > [@ezlipopmom](#): > > it was used in other wayspot niantic games. This is a badly worded statement which does confuse many people. It should just state “Will not currently be used as a Pokestop or Gym in Pokemon Go”. You have already done the hard part getting the nomination accepted, unfortunately for what you was hoping for it fell at the last hurdle. All you need to do is repeat the process with another point of interest 🙂 Good Luck
