Hi, my poke stop submission has been accepted more than 2 weeks ago, but it never appeared in the game.

What can i do?

We’re not nominating PokeStops, despite what it says in Pokemon Go. Instead we nominate Wayspots, which can be used in various Niantic games. Essentially when you make a nomination it gets added to a database and each game has its own inclusion rules for which Wayspots will be used.

[This page](https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/) provides an in depth explanation of how this works.

The targa is in Ingress, however due to inclusion rules, it’s not available in Pokemon Go.

In short, you’re not nominating a PokéStop (or a Portal) despite what the game(s) shows.

You’re nominating a Wayspot which can become a Portal or PokéStop if it meets inclusion criteria/rules for that game.
