Hello and Welcome,
If you are having nominations accepted but they don’t appear in Pokemon Go the most likely reason is the S2 Cell “proximity” rule.
More info can be found at https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/why-an-accepted-wayspot-may-not-be-used-in-pokemon-go-s2-cells-and-pokemon-go
I recommend you read the full details but the simplified version is…
- The Map is cut up in to Cells (S2 Level 17).
- Only 1 Stop or Gym is allowed in each Level 17 cell.
- 64 (8x8) Level 17 Cells form a Level 14 Cell.
- The amount of occupied Level 17 cells in each Level 14 cell determines how many will change to Gyms.
When discussing cells I always give the warning NEVER use knowledge of the cells to mis-place your nominations just to get them on the map. This can lead to suspensions of your Wayfarer and Game accounts.
A common misconception is that if the “wayspot” you nominated is used in “Other Games” then it can not be used in PoGo. This is not the case. Where it states “Used in other games” should be "will not be a Stop or Gym.
As @elijustrying says, if you are happy to pass a general location (do not use your home address) players here do like to scour the maps and suggest possible nominations that should appear on the map is Accepted.
Good Luck.
