Request to remove gym

Wayspot Appeals
1

So I’m part (technically leader, but not enough players for an actual community) of a student community at my college campus. About a year ago, I nominated a then indoor basketball stadium as our third ever nomination which was accepted as a pokestop in Pokemon Go. About 6 months ago, the stadium was cleared and relocated to the indoor stadium at the sports complex. The basketball stadium is right behind the hostel and is now a construction zone filled with debris of all kind. Because the location is unsafe and poorly lit, students are prohibited access. Me and other members of our community have tried removing the pokestop (now a gym) since (through the Pokemon go app) but with no
success. Any advice on how to proceed?

This is a picture of the area, showing the lack of the stadium and the construction zone it is now

Edit: As suggested, I’m also attaching a screenshot of one of the many mails that my request to get it removed was rejected

Edit: As also suggested, adding a photo with map coordinates.

Any help from niantic or the community on how to get it removed would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Forum @RohitPokefan

I have moved your thread to the Wayspot appeal area. I think you have already included some good information for staff to review this for removal. But you will also need to add a copy of the email you received from the unacceptable in game request for removal.

Feel free to look around and please ask more questions :grinning_cat_with_smiling_eyes:

Staff do like an image displaying the GPS Co-ords (GPSCameraApp).

Worth adding to the list :slight_smile:

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions, added!

Which area? The old or the new?

I am guessing the new stadium is not completed yet?

7

Old gym?. Can show where it move in same map?

To clarify, all of what I’ve marked both on the pogo map and the picture is the former location of the irl basketball stadium, the nomination of which is a gym in Pokemon go. (Note, by gym I mean a gym in Pokemon go)
That is the unsafe area now. The basketball stadium has been moved to the indoor stadium which is ahead of the hostels(about 750 m away), not in the picture (this is IRL). The indoor stadium is not exclusively a basketball stadium and is for badminton and squash as well.
In Pokemon go, I have already nominated the indoor stadium separately and that is in voting currently.

So can you tell us where is the new stadium?

Thanks for the appeal, @RohitPokefan! After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question.
