Actually I am in favor of places like those which you shared. They definitely look more interesting and appealing than some random Statues, Murals and Graffiti.
Niantic themselves have contradictory ideas. They want interesting things, but not natural; they want places where people can go together but should be manmade.
In that image, there are many things which should make it eligible for Pokestop, including the fact that local authority and department take care of that place. And the forces working in those department are human, for sure ? So this place goes into category of man-made place !!
I am firm believer of the fact that Wayfarer idea is worst. There is no point to have those Wayfarer criteria and allied methods.
Since Pokemon GO is map-based game, hence for Niantic it should be simple for them to identify the locations as per the heat map of activity. If any place has better heat map than surrounding, then that location should have Pokestop.
By this way, even rural players can get Pokestop, at those places where they organize meet-ups with their friends.
Same for me.
As a player of most MSG of Pokemon, it feels really bad when something forces us to stop. Even I stopped playing ORAS for 5-6 months before going back in, because of busy schedule.
If my Pokemon GO account is terminated, then I will not try to make a new account and rise up again. As I took all efforts on my own without any support for me to play this game, so terminating this account means the end of journey for me.
There is simple answer for this.
Rather than keeping Community ahead and processing themselves at backdoor, they should actually take up the work of making/selecting the Pokestops, rather than asking community to do it.
As people in community are human, hence they will prefer to approve those places first which will affect them, rather than those which will not. There are many Bus Stop Pokestops here, but my submission for a nearby Bus Stop got rejected.
Hence I made decision that I will never again log in into Niantic Wayfarer, and always give poor feedback to Niantic, regarding their services.
