probably the first one that gets trough the review system. They wont all be accepted at the same time.
The site is 100% down for me at the moment…anyone else?
edit:the site is down globally. Nice job Niantic
Just got a mail back that the first PokéStop I submitted, is eligible, too. I noticed the Stop is already in Ingress, not in PoGo yet. It took the second PokéStop I submitted a day to appear in the game, though, so I hope this one too will still appear in POGO.

Yeah, they seem to be reviewed pretty fast.

How can I see which Ingress portals exist in my town so that I don’t nominate duplicates? We have a monument in the center of our town that was a Gym before, but for some reason it was deleted. I’d like to nominate it again if I can.
I’m not sure, but perhaps you can see the POI’s in the Niantic Wayfarer site; I haven’t checked that yet. If not, the only solutions seems to be downloading Ingress.
By the way, POI’s, a Gym in your example, are not removed for no reason. I think you should check if it really is eligible first, before you try to submit it again.
It is eligible, otherwise I wouldn’t be surprised that they removed it. It’s a monument in the central square, accessible, meets all the criteria. One day it was removed although it was a popular Gym, I had gold medal there. Niantic then decided to put a Poke stop in the town square which is actually the whole town square as a POI. There are at least 5 POIs in the town square, so I don’t understand their decision. Maybe there are many portals in Ingress there, but I don’t know and I don’t want to waste my nominations.
Just make an Ingress account and then you can check the map there.
I was hoping that someone who already has an Ingress account could look it up for me.
Romanians keep rejecting my pokestop submissions because I’m of Hungarian minority, in a 95% hungarian city and I wrote some of my submissions in my own language, even though, it was a hotel submission, and it was 100% clear for anyone what the suggestion was. They flagged it under total bs criterias.
How am I supposed to submit future stops with these chauvinist romanians flagging them as ineligible? Smh…
These are lower quality snippets, but in my original submission you could clearly read on the doors ‘‘Hunguest hotel Fenyo’’ which is the name of the hotel, and these chauvinists marked it as generic business, private residence and other crap. IMO there should be an ‘‘abuse report’’ in the Wayfarer system for these cases…
Maybe this will explain why they didn’t accept your nomination. In the guidelines for reviewing Wayspots it says that hotels/inns should be rejected unless they are historical, have an interesting story or are a unique local business.

It IS unique, the only hotel in Romania as far as I know with this name, the biggest and oldest hotel in my city. And I’ve seen hundreds of hotels as pokestops all across Europe. Thanks for your reply though!
Could look at it tomorrow if you give the location. Though it might be worth your time to just get that Ingress account.
@GhettoKapitany Hotels arent quallity POI like @Branebs said.
The rules on POI’s have changed over time. Things that got accepted a year ago might not get accepted now.

Did you write that in the section Supplemental information? You can write a comment to persuade people to accept your nomination, to tell them why it meets the criteria.

My first Poke stop is now live in Pokemon GO!

Another POI location got accepted today. It is already in Ingress and will probably be a PokéStop tomorrow, since there is legit NO Stop or Gym around it yet. The closest must be 800m away from the location.
Also, I seem not to be the only one here who wants more PokéStops in the part of the city where I live. I saw another Ingress Portal I didn’t know its existence of since today. I doubt it’ll become a PokéStop though.
“You can learn more about Niantic Wayfarer and what makes a quality review by visiting wayfarer.nianticlabs.com.”
Tried to visit that page and got the generic 404 (page not found) error.
Anybody got a corrected link for that doc?
Went to the app store, looked up “Niantic Wayfarer”, and it returned Ingress Prime, Pokémon Go, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite… there is no app for Wayfarer listed.
Did Wayfarer get yanked? Or is it just a function of Ingress Prime?
I’m reviewing wayspots as we speak, currently sitting on 471 reviewed, so it works. But it has connection issues sometimes. https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/
