Rejection reason: Thanks for the appeal, Explorer! The object in question does not meet the Wayfarer criteria as it is a common sign with no significance. Title: Sembrando Vida (Planting Life - in english) Description: Arte que fomenta la preservación ecológica de la comunidad. (Art that promotes …

A way spot needs to be a great place to exercise, explore, or socialize. The sign does not mark a site for any of those, and itself is not a great place to explore, IMO. It looks to be the end of a residential road outside an electric substation. While the design is pleasing, the message is a gene…

Thank you very much for the reply. I guess criteria has become way stricter through the years because there are pokestops and gyms on the game that they are just a generic sign identifying the entrance of a park or identifying a specific species tree or a dog zone.

in most of those cases, the sign represents the area, which is eligible. so the wayspot is for the area, not the sign. for the species markers, those are up for debate. but generally if they are accepted it is either because they are educational or because they mark a trail to follow. (apologies f…

Thank you very much for the feedback. So, a public area at the dead end of a street is not considered a great place to play. I can tell that to the Pokemon Go trainers that go to play on the Dinamax node (the same electric station mentioned in the first reply to this post is the node) that is at th…

I found out that my proposals that were approved in Wayfarer and did not appeared as pokestops in the game are now Dynamax Nodes, so I am not sure 100% that all Dynamax nodes do not comply with criteria. These are 2 samples that do not appear as pokestops in the game but as Dynamax nodes: [unname…

Oh, I LOVE when they use Wayfarer approved for powerspots. Most of the ones in our park are ones I submitted that are used in Ingress, not Pogo. But they also used imports as well that did not have to undergo the Wayfarer process like our nominations do. These are the ones I have problems with. Lots…

Thank you very much for the reply. If trainers meet to play in an area to raid the hard Dynamax bosses and they do not break any public law by doing that on a public space, the location complies with the criterias of socialization, exploring and even exercising (those who play Pokemon Go in a tropi…

In the end, I agree with your comment. There is a Dynamax Node in an industrial park in my neighbourhood that is inside a factory. The only way to access that node is on Saturday and Sunday (when there is no work at the factory) and one has to access a down ramp that starts on the sidewalk towards t…

Don’t get me started on those Dynamax imports that do not meet criteria! I think they are going to start removing reported ones that don’t based on this post:
