Why do my Nominations get rejected?

[Samuil2707]

Can somebody tell me why my nominations get rejected. I can’t figure out why they don’t meet the criteria. I have more nominations, but for a very small village I don’t have many options for eligible Waystops. Please help!

Because benches, like the ones you’re nominating are considered generic public infrastructure.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Benches are difficult to get accepted, you did mention that there is a nice view, but to convince the reviewers, you need to prove this in your nomination. From what we can see, there is no way to tell if indeed there is a nice view.

Bus stops are not eligible. There are some tests in a few countries where Scopeley is testing street corners and bus stops as additional wayspots in rural areas, at the moment these stops are not allowed to be accepted outside this test.

see:

Seating Benches

Memorial benches can only be eligible under the criteria for exploration if they are dedicated to a notable figure and that notability is described in the nomination. Mass produced memorial benches dedicated to friends and family are not eligible unless the nominator provides evidence of the individual’s importance to the community. Just stating that someone was important to the community is inadequate. [image] Note that benches that are artistically crafted like the bench above can also …

Testing New Wayspots in Pokémon GO

Hello Wayfinders, You may have noticed that there are some newly added Wayspots in Pokémon GO in selected areas of France, Italy, and Spain. These Wayspots have been added to the map as part of an experiment designed to enhance gameplay and increase accessibility in areas with low Wayspot density. Curious about this experiment? We’re embarking on an exciting test to measure the impact of adding Niantic-generated Wayspots in safe, pedestrian-friendly locations like street corners and bus stops…

Welcome to the forum! A wayspot must be a great place to exercise, socialize, and/or explore. While I may socialize at a bus shelter while waiting for a bus, it is not a place I go to for socialization. It certainly may help me explore my community by providing transportation, but that’s also not its purpose. I might even be able to exercise there but you get the idea.
If you give us a rough idea of the area, myself or others will use street view and satellite view to help you find eligible places.

Thank you for the help, I would be pleased if you can help me(when i need to), but i think it’ll be difficult because there isn’t street view in my village. It really is a small village (about 15 houses). I can see you’re a leader, if I’m correct, so i can trust you. I will come back to talk to you for some suggestions for nominations, if it’ll be possible!

Thank you for the answer. I appreciate it!!!

[Samuil2707]

Thanks for your answer too. I also appreciate it!

One thing now i remember, the bench wasn’t accepted so i appealed it, but now that you say about the view(it was stupid about myself for not showing it) i can’t add another additional photo of it. I don’t understant that much about all of this and i think you can say!
